Digital Logos Edition
Logos Editions are fully connected to your library and Bible study tools.
Overview
Church planting is in vogue, yet there is a paucity of sustained biblical and theological reflection on the topic.
Key voices are practitioners and planters themselves—here is the biblical theology that the missiological practice of our day has been crying out for.
John Valentine explores the Bible’s ‘how’ and ‘why’ for starting new churches and revitalizing old ones—in this robust and comprehensive biblical theological look at one aspect of the mission of God.

Church planting has received a lot of attention in recent years, which has caused some people to think it is a new phenomenon. The result is that many of the books on church planting are shallow and lack a robust biblical theology. John Valentine has written a timely book that offers a biblical and theological foundation for church planting in today’s complex and challenging world. If you are looking for a fresh introduction to church planting for today’s world that is theologically sound, while at the same time practical, this book is for you!
—Revd Dr Winfield Bevins, author of Liturgical Mission
I was privileged to attend the church planting course that John helped lead in 2017, so I am delighted to see that he has set out here the fundamentals for those who are setting out on, reflecting on, or seeking to understand the church-planting journey. Church planting is without a doubt the most exciting and challenging thing I have been involved in, and John brings theological depth and sound biblical knowledge to the task, as well as being a sure and experienced guide. I wholeheartedly commend this book.
—Fran Carabott, pioneer minister and leader of St Margaret’s Community Church plant in Southsea, Portsmouth
John Valentine’s theological gifts and his personal experience as a church planter make him uniquely qualified to write this book. John knows what he is writing about.
