How Do I Know I Am Called To Be A Church Planter?

You’re saying to everyone who will listen – “Sign me up!” You have an internal calling to share Christ, and believe the best expression of your gifting is to plant a church. You may or may not see yourself as the senior pastor, but you plan to contribute significantly to the planting of a church. You may also have heard from others that you are called to plant – perhaps through a prophetic word, or simply an affirmation of your gifting.

As a strategic member of the team, you’ll want to understand Scripture well and apply it to your church leadership. You’re also looking to grow in leading a team, and to learn from those who have gone before you in this pursuit.
