Synopsis

Word and Sacrament provides a robust framework to plant gospel faithful, missionally effective, relationally strong churches.

While much of church planting today is approached as a new, innovative effort, church leaders can take comfort in the truth that they are simply stewards of what the faithful church has been doing for millennia. By rediscovering the foundations of our heritage, we are able to build healthier, more faithful, and more effective churches. At the same time, the act of planting new churches can breathe new life into these ancient traditions as they are applied to a variety of cultural contexts.

Written from an Anglican perspective to encourage both aspiring and experienced church planters, Word and Sacrament will assist leaders in all traditions to better understand the why, what, and how of the task before them.

● Outlines and contextualizes the Anglican way of discipleship for a global church

● Helps ministry leaders avoid common mistakes in church planting

● Helps those in all walks of ministry to discern their role in church planting
