Models of Church Planting
Tim Goddu, World Impact
Models of Church Planting
- Franchise Model – Denomination attraction
- Parent Model – Mother starts a daughter church
- Partnership – two or more churches combine forces
- Satellite- Video venues
- Unplanned pregnancy – split
- Parachute drop – left alone
- Beachhead model – community development
- Organic Church – high on discipleship and outreach and meet in established businesses or residences
- Missionary model – A missions organization ministers to unchurched, often cross-culturally, and plants churches.
WI’s Model is a Volcano.
At the base is Evangelism: live in the community that you serve, minister to the whole family and to the whole person (spiritually, physically, emotionally) through establishing camps, clinics, tutoring, housing, schools, job training, clothes, etc.
World Impact has established three schools. Typically $50/month, kids wear uniforms, families go to the church plant.
Next Level is Equipping, teach people to lead
Third level is Empowering, allow people to lead
