3. Planting churches trends that simply meet the niche needs of Christians.
We don’t plant churches to be “the most contemporary church in town” or “the most charismatic church in town” or “the most Reformed in town.”
Instead, we must plant churches with one end goal in mind: to help us be on mission to show and share the love of Jesus with those who don’t know him. Sure, our churches can have their own style in terms of worship, preaching and practices, but these must not determine how and why we plant churches.

We must aim to plant churches for the glory of God and the good of the community, not to meet our own needs.
So as you consider planting a church, consider why you are doing it and seek to avoid the above pitfalls. And if you have already planted a church, continue to check yourself as to how you are communicating, how often you meet and the spirit in which you serve God and others.
