Church PLANT Manual

A fterword Rev. Ted Smith

These resources are readily available to you on World Impact’s Evangel Church Planting Bookshelf (worldimpact.org/cpbookshelf) in digital format as well as available for purchase via Amazon. The following is an introduction of key texts that may be helpful as you and your team continue the work of church planting, applying the principles of the Evangel School of Urban Church Planting. This guidebook was the original text of the Evangel School, outlining a process of church planting that respects the unique cultures, environments, communities, and situations reflected in urban America. The PLANT approach outlined provides practically wise and spiritually vital instruction to ensure that urban church planting teams will neither fail nor blunder as they seek to engage needy yet spiritually ripe unreached neighborhoods. The guidebook will guide teams through that Ripe for Harvest: A Guidebook for Planting Healthy Churches in the City
