Too many church-planting efforts fail because leaders follow a model that worked elsewhere instead of looking at their unique identity, location, and community. With 120 million unchurched people in the United States, leaders have a need for a practical, comprehensive guide for church planting and church renewal. That need is fulfilled in this second edition of Planting Growing Churches for the 21st Century.

Revised and updated, this second edition emphasizes the importance of a ministry's core values, mission, and strategy. Sixteen accompanying worksheets are included, and new chapter-end checklists aid in review. This creative handbook shows church planters how to focus on the essential ingredients for success:

• A Great Commission vision
• Strong servant leadership
• A mobilized lay army
• Culturally relevant ministry and evangelism
• Authentic worship
• A robust network of small groups
