MI201 Church Planting
Overview
In Church Planting (MI201), Tim Sisk asks students to consider church planting as participation in the mission of the church. He establishes the biblical foundation for church planting as a work of the Spirit to call and empower believers to participate in the Great Commission in this specific missional way. He looks at the methods and models used in biblical examples of church planting and examines church planting throughout history.

“Second of all, He gave personal attention to their formation by modeling for them, by being with them, by praying with them, by motivating them through His attention, support, correction, and feedback.” (source)
“We need to have this deep love for lost people to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with them. But the other thing is this: You’ve got to have this deep love for the Church of Jesus Christ.” (source)
“He was constantly involved with them in life-related teaching.” (source)
“‘Vision is a picture of the future that produces passion.’” (source)
“He was intentional about seeing His disciples grow. He spent time with them. He developed them. He taught them. He was a model for them. He had conversations with them. Find ways that we can do that too for the new followers of Christ that we’re seeing as they come into our church, because our desire is mature followers. We want to make disciples that build up the church and allow it to expand for God’s glory.” (source)
