Books on Church planting

      If you feel a call to church planting, there are a few things you can do to prepare for the journey ahead. Boy, what a fantastic journey it will be! Knowledge from those who have gone before you is a valuable asset. We read many books from apostolic and non-apostolic church planters that helped give insight. You won't always agree with everything an author says, but can still find ideas, truths, and help within their words. Here are the books we loved and recommend: 

Growing a Church - David K. Bernard
Active  Duty-  Scott Armstrong 
Revival in a Plain Brown Wrapper- Carlton Coon 
Church Work - Rodney Shaw
​How People Grow- Dr. Henry Cloud (Not church planting specifically but helpful.)
One Size Doesn't Fit All - Gary L McIntosh
