Major Research

Vineyard Study

• Major reason for church plant failure.

• The planter’s inability to recruit, mobilize, and nurture workers and leaders.

Stetzer Study

• If the church planter provides leadership development training for new church members, the odds of survivability increase by more than 250 percent!

Leadership Network Study

• Church plants that experience higher attendance conduct leadership training, build their leadership base, and delegate leadership roles to church members.

• This is an ongoing process from the time of the plant throughout its lifetime. It's not left to chance or to personal initiative.

Gray Study

• Fast Growing: 88% started with a church planting team.

• Struggling: 88% did not have a team
