Viral churches: helping church planters become movement makers

Leadership Network commissioned a study by Ed Stetzer (who heads up LifeWay Research) on church planting, i.e., the process of getting a new church started. Leadership Network wanted to find out what the best practices were in churchplanting and uncover the common threads among them. This book will use research findings to inform, guide, and even catalyze today's many church planting leaders. It will show them how to form a movement and will hopefully also inspire them to do so. It will address their felt needs of what to do next in theirchurch planting strategies, in light of research on what's actually working best.Ed Stetzer (Nashville, TN) has been a church planter and has trained pastors and church planters on five continents, holds two masters degrees and two earned doctorates, and has written dozens of articles and books.
