Church planting

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen how plants grow from seeds? In the same way, a church plant is like planting a new seed for a new church.

Some people want to start a new church because they believe it will better serve their community's spiritual needs. They might start by gathering a small group of people who share the same beliefs and values. These people work together to create a new church.

Starting a church is a big job though! It requires a lot of work and planning. Just like how you have to water and take care of a plant for it to grow, you have to take care of a new church to help it become stronger and grow.

The new church might hold services, like Sunday school, Bible studies, or worship services. They may even have a special space, like a building or a rented room, where they can meet together.

Some people may be hesitant to start a new church, but it can be a great opportunity to bring people closer to their faith and build a stronger community.

In summary, church planting is like planting a new seed for a new church to grow and help serve its community's spiritual needs. It requires a lot of work and planning to help it grow strong and provide a welcoming space for people to gather and worship.
