Church planting is one of the most challenging yet rewarding adventures you can embark on. Often zealous planters and their teams launch their new church prematurely, without taking time to lay a firm foundation for long-term fruitful ministry. Failure to do so often results in a weakened new church, or even the new church closing after a few years. Rather than focusing on methodology, the how to's of church planting, this book gives attention to six foundational concerns wise planters will need to nail down before they ever plant: -Biblical foundations, -Theological foundations, - Ecclesiological foundations, - Missiological foundations, -Spiritual foundations, -Practical foundations. Although helpful for a wide range of planting leaders, this book is particularly written for four specific groups: -those who feel called to plant and are making preparations; -their planting teammates and launch leaders; -those exploring church planting; -those who coach and train church planters. Foundations for Fruitful Church Planting serves as a comprehensive resource that will guide you to think strategically, plan carefully, and prepare thoroughly to birth a healthy, growing, and reproducing congregation. Each chapter includes recommended resources, discussion questions, and follow-through exercises.

Reviews for Foundations for Fruitful Church Planting

"""Ken Davis has given us one the most thorough and well-researched discussions available on the biblical foundations of church planting. If you want to root your church plant solidly in Scripture, I highly recommend reading Foundations for Fruitful Church Planting."" --Craig Ott, professor of mission and intercultural studies, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School ""If you're looking for a pragmatic book that covers all the latest fads in church planting, then this is not the book for you. But if you hunger for more (and you should), here is the work of a seasoned guide who can help you reflect deeply about the crucial foundations of church planting. An excellent resource for planters and those who work with them!"" --Stephen Stallard, assistant professor of pastoral ministry, Western Seminary"
