I'm Twenty Years Old and I Want - Acts 29 Network: Seattle, WA >
We frequently receive applications and questions from young men who are between eighteen and twenty-four who want to plant a church. Some of them wisely inquire what is necessary for them to be ready to plant, recognizing that they’re ‘not there’ yet.
Clearly church planting is a marathon, not a sprint, and a decision to plant requires a calling and a good deal of sober judgment.
As we help men think through whether they should plant a church, we encourage those who are under twenty-five years old to wait now and prepare to plant.
What does it look like for you to prepare to plant a church? Become a member in your local church. Serve there. Let your service and the leadership there help test, develop and grow your character, skills and calling.
The Austin Stone Community Church is an Acts 29 church planted by Matt Carter. Two young men in college are members and leaders at his church, and have started a Missional Community on their campus. This is practice for church planting.
From my experience leading an Missional Community so far, the best support I've gotten was from my larger church support. They had the vision and wanted to see change in the city, I just hopped on board. I totally agree with Andrew on that point. I would suggest that those looking into the ministry to talk with leadership at your church about starting an MC first and DO NOT do it on your own. Also, be sure to continually talk about mission with your group. I agree that a "people group" is a good place to start, but even easier is to choose the place where you live, your neighborhood, apartment complex, dorm room, etc., and get to know the people there. Especially remember that the Spirit does the work of heart change in people's lives. To quote Christopher Wright, "Mission belongs to God. Mission is not ours, but God's ", but we get to be a part of it by His grace! In reality, if you want to be a part of God's mission all you need to do is to get to know your neighbor.
