Planting Churches in the 21st Century

Planting ChurchesPlanting Churches in the 21st Century:
A Guide for Those Who Want Fresh Perspectives and New Ideas for Creating Congregations
By Stuart Murray (Herald, 2010)

“The purpose of this book has been to provide a framework for practitioners and for those who deploy and support them, to encourage all those involved to think through a range of issues and learn from the often hard-won experience of other church planters. My hope is that it will stimulate more planting and more effective planting, more creative planting and more responsible planting, initiatives that are better researched and contextualized, and new churches that are healthier and more sustainable.” –Stuart Murray, from the book
