Stages of church planting
Pre-entry stage: we develop a team; study the culture/subculture and situation of each city which will be the basis of our strategy; equip our team and church family; meet with local churches; equip local churches
Entry stage: we enter and connect with the community;
Evangelism stage: we prayerfully share the gospel
Discipleship stage: we disciple new believers
Church planting stage: we lead new believers to self-identify and covenant together as a local church; teach biblical ecclesiology; we partner or equip existing evangelical churches in reaching their neighborhood
Leadership development: we develop leaders who can effectively lead and equip the flock; begins simultaneously with the discipleship and church planting stages.
