444 What last year's church launches are teaching the rest of us

Church planting is often treated as something only large churches can do. The latest Growth and Change report suggests otherwise. Across the Reach Australia network, smaller churches and unlikely partnerships are launching new congregations and reaching people who were never going to walk into an existing church.

This episode explores what last year’s church plants are teaching the rest of us. If most Australians still don’t know Jesus, the question isn’t whether churches feel ready to plant, but whether we are organising our ministry to reach the 95% who aren’t in church.

In this episode:

  • Why new churches continue to reach new people
  • The rise of partnerships between churches to plant together
  • How smaller churches are multiplying through intentional leadership pipelines
  • The tension between filling staff roles and sending church planters
  • Practical first steps for churches wanting to move toward church planting
