CFTROU 0017: Autonomous Launch

This is the last in our series on Multisite Church for the Rest of Us. To this point, we have covered why we do multisite, how we do multisite, and we have drilled down on three of the four ways we have planted. Today we are going to talk about how we have helped plant autonomous churches. These are independent partner churches that do not carry the Family Church name. In order to see thousands of churches planted to reach the millions of South Floridians who are irreligious and unchurched, we have to support and encourage one another. Today we discuss the risks and the benefits of autonomous church planting.

Key Points:

  • The value of supporting other churches.
  • The risks with autonomous church planting.
  • What resources the North American Mission Board offers.
  • How to support a church plant.
  • Advice to young pastors.
