After last week’s class, I realized that my opinion of church planting has, over the years, been negatively impacted by the rigid denominational structure of the churches that I have attended for the majority of my life. I’m not suggesting that there is anything inherently wrong with the denominational church per se, but merely that a programmatic approach to church planting does not appeal to the relationally-minded person who I am.
I am eager to look at church planting as a more organic, holistic process. I always have felt drawn to an intentional community approach to Christianity, so I am excited about the possibility that this class affords me to explore various growth movements within the church. Who knows, maybe church planting is more of a possibility for my future ministry than I ever realized before.
