Why We SHOULDN'T Plant Churches

OBJECTION! OBJECTION!

It's been a while since I have posted, but I thought I might turn to the subject of church planting.

To begin with I thought I would get your help. The next Master's Class on Thursday 5th June is on 'Why Plant Churches?'.

But my question for you is what kinds of reasons might you give for why we SHOULDN'T plant churches. Here are some objections I have heaerd:

1. We shouldn't plant churches because we don't need new churches we just need the current churches to be stronger.

2. We shouldn't plant churches because we weaken the church from which the people leave to start the new church.

3. We shouldn't plant churches because we should be trying to build large churches that can influence our society/diocese/suburb for the gospel.

I guess given that I am planning to lead a church plant, I don't agree with all these objections.

But do you have more objections to church planting that you think should be discussed on the 5th June?

Bring them on ...
