Top 10 Reasons Church Plants Fail
Summary from an article written by Jim Griffith and Don Nations:
- Lack of a clear definition of “success”
- Prematurely launching public worship
- Mismatch between the planter and the community
- Someone didn’t accurately assess the planter
- Lack of ongoing training and coaching
- Putting too much stock in one big event or campaign
- Taking on too much overhead too soon [eg: office space]
- The inability or unwillingness to recruit new people
- Inability to prioritize the right activities and investments
- Unwillingness to change the strategy when it doesn’t work
