If your goal is to start a church, keep in mind that you don't need an extensive church planting organization to accomplish that. Rather than be concerned with that, focus instead on how you will bring Christ to your community. Let someone else worry about the business and legal tasks involved in bringing it all to fruition. Have you asked yourself where you should start and how you should do it? Remember, first and foremost, you must have been called by God to start, or help start, a Christian ministry. If you can take care of that most important question, then you should know that highly competent guidance is available for everything else. You may have wondered if incorporation a requirement. Or, how to ordain ministers, and whether they will qualify for the special tax benefits available only to clergy? There is so much to know that you could easily be distracted from your true purpose without helpful guidelines from quality resources like Building On Faith.

If you had a church planting organization, what would it look like? What would be it's primary goals? Keep in mind that for the ministry and outreach side of a new church, you have a wealth of resources, starting with the holy bible. You also have many great Christian leaders who have blazed trails for younger leaders. But one thing many would-be church planters don't have is a reliable resource that walks them thoroughly through all legal and business tasks of how to start a church.

The sooner you turn search for an find the kind of resources you need for legal and business matters associated with starting a new church, the better off your new ministry will be. Learn to concentrate on bringing God's Word to the masses and leave the legal and business things to someone who knows what they're doing. It comes down to having an effective church planting strategy. Or, concentrating on the religious message that you feel God has appointed you to spread.

You need not worry about having a permanent building in which to worship, as the kingdom of God is in the heart.  True Christians can meet and share their love of the Bible with each other in a way that no one else can, with no need for a dedicated building.  A spiritual location suits just fine. Remember, a church planting organization is not necessary. Just a true calling, a heart for God and a heart for the ministry. Everything else can be done with Building On Faith, a wonderful new resource on the legal and business aspects of church plantings.
