Church Planting Focus – What does it mean to "Launch Large"

We are very close to the One Day Launch Conference in Orlando. I want to take some time today to talk about the Launch Large concept in preparation for this Live Event. Have your registered and ordered your plane tickets?

Here is my goal for this conference: I want to help you start a chruch from scratch that will reach as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, and in the power of the Holy Spirit. In other words, my goal is to provide you will everything you need to Launch Large.

Launching Large is the ability of a new church to reach as many people as possible within the first six to eight months of existence. It’s all about discovering and fulfilling potential.

Large is a relative term and launching large will look different for different church planters in different environments. Don’t get too caught up in the numbers. Instead, focus on the potential of your area as you allow the concept to sink in.

At the same time, don’t completely dismiss the numbers. Numbers are important in that they represent the people you have won to Christ as well as your impact on the community as a whole.

Numbers do serve a purpose – not as a means to secure bragging rights, but as a tool for measuring the expansion of God’s kingdom.

Ask yourself, What would launching large look like in my area?

I hope to continue this dialog with you at my One Day Launch Conference in Orlando on April 13th.
