There are all kinds of ways to think about a core team for a new church plant. – Ed Stetzer
The number one characteristic that defines the success or failure of a church plant is the spiritual and emotional health of the leaders, the pastor, his wife, and their family. – Dean Fulks
If you have a great leader–certainly not a perfect leader with a perfect marriage–but a great leader who loves Jesus and has a good marriage, you can send as many people as possible. – Dean Fulks
The folks who go are the folks you don’t want to leave. They’re the most missional and generous and want to reach their communities. They’re the most stoked about the mission and vision. – Dean Fulks
Look at Paul’s work in the New Testament and see the value he placed on women as part of planting teams and groups. – Dean Fulks
The key to handling relational conflict well is a depth of relational equity. – Dean Fulks
