Baptist Church Planting

First Steps to Planting and Pastoring a New Testament Baptist Church

By: Marvin McKenzie

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Within these pages are the notes and lectures I gave as a teacher of church planting.

I have had experience in church planting in three different levels:

• As the member of a brand new church plant
• As the pastor being sent out of his church to plant a new church
• As the pastor of the sending church of a man pastoring a new church plant

I've seen this work from many different viewpoints, have sat in on multiple hours of sermons, lessons and messages on church planting and I have served as the sending pastor of church planters with many different talents, temperaments, and tools with which to start.

I cannot say that we have been successful in every church plant. Nor can I say that I have anywhere near all the answers. Prayerfully these pages might provide some sort of reference from which the work may progress.
