What is a church planter? A church planter is someone who has experienced organic church life themselves and is called by God to lay foundations for such churches. This "foundation laying" entails equipping the members of the church how to function under Christ's direct leadership, how to build community, and how to handle problems that are common to organic house churches.
Church planters help establish new churches. They also help encourage and equip churches that have already begun.
Hundreds of new house churches are beginning all across the nation. But many do not survive. Others quickly turn into traditional churches that simply meet in a home. For this reason, many who endeavor to meet in homes feel that they need encouragement and guidance. The ministry of church planting is a service. It's an outside resource to help nurture house churches and build strong foundations in them so that they can be healthy, vibrant, and long-lasting.
