Launching Large - Part 1
Mon, Jul 21, 2008
“Launching Large – Launching large is the ability of a new church to reach as many people as possible within the first six to eight months of existence. It’s an issue of discovering and fulfilling potential. Of course
, large is a relative term. Launching large will look different for different church planters in different environments. Church is local, and launching large is as unique as the area to which God has called you. Areas that are warm to the gospel may lend to a larger launch than completely unchurched areas. We have also seen the reverse hold true. Don’t get too caught up in the numbers. Instead focus on the potential of your area.”
“Launching large is about cooperating with God to see his vision accomplished in an area. Don’t underestimate that vision.”
(excerpt taken from Nelson Searcy and Kerrick Thomas of Church Leader Insights.com)
The idea of launching large has nothing to do with ego or numbers for numbers sake. The idea of launching large has everything to do with reaching as many people with the life saving message of the cross as we can! Our plan for Epic Church is to do everything we can possible to launch large!
There is more to come on launching large in the following days…
