Why do we need more churches? This is a question that is often presented when we share our dream of planting ten ministries in the Kansas City area. Tim Keller, who is an author and leading expert on the state of the church in North America, made this comment:
"The vigorous, continual planting of new congregations is the single most crucial strategy for the numerical growth of the body of Christ in any city, and the continual corporate renewal and revival of the existing churches in a city. Nothing else - not crusades,
outreach programs, parachurch ministries,
growing mega churches...nor church renewal
processes - will have the consistent impact of
dynamic, extensive church planting."
