Missional orders as ways to start new churches
January 21st, 2008
Here’s a very, very interesting video of a talk by David Fitch about using missional orders as a church planting strategy.
“The way we used to plant churches (in the Christendom era) was as organization. An established church structure … paid somebody… with the distinctives of the denomination, the tags, the franchise…”. But that doesn’t work anymore. “I do not believe you can plant a church in less than three years in post-Christendom.”
I’m filing this under “if/when I plant another church”…
I really gotta read me some Fitch. I’ve got a couple of his books, and I’ve heard that _The Great Giveaway_ is fantastic.
