Top 10 Reasons to Join a Church Plant
Posted by Matt McAlvey on
One of the items that we interacted with last evening at our Core Team Gathering was this list of Top 10 Reasons to Join a Church Plant, that I picked up via Justin Buzzards blog. This was a follow-up from having previously looked at reasons not to join a church plant.I think that #7 on this list was the crowd favorite, because of the excellent use of the word "meddle". Enjoy!
1. If you want to see Jesus do something new—if you’re sick of the status quo, join a church plant.
2. If you dream of being part of something bigger than yourself, join a church plant.
3. If you want to get into a fight—enter a battle—for the kingdom of Christ, join a church plant.
4. If you feel a constant itch to see people who don’t know Jesus come to know Jesus, join a church plant.
5. If you want to give your time, money, energy, and talents to starting something new—if you want to make sacrifices in order for a mission to succeed, join a church plant.
6. If you fully support the vision, mission, doctrine, and leadership of a church plant, join a church plant.
7. If you want your faith to grow and you want God to fundamentally meddle with and change your life, join a church plant.
8. If you want to love your city, join a church plant.
9. If you want to watch God move in ways you never imagined—if you want an adventure, join a church plant.
10. If you’re not afraid to bank your life on Matthew 16:18 (“I [Jesus] will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”), join a church plant.
