“Starting A Church”

Categories: THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH
My husband and I just started a church plant in September.  Any advice for a new church planter’s wife?

Sincerely,
Mrs. Seed

Dear Mrs. Seed,

The only advice we can give is to hold very carefully to the Bible pattern, and the congregation will be blessed.  The religious world is full of people that try and make churches grow by doing all sorts of things that have nothing to do with New Testament Christianity.  If the congregation strives to use book, chapter, and verse for everything it does ­– it will be a success no matter how many members it has.  You may find the article "Down With Denominationalism" useful, and we also have an article entitled "Finding A Church" that might interest you because it gives the perspective of what the Bible tells people to look for in a congregation.
