What is Project Management for Church Planting pt. 1

January 27th, 2010 by Doug

When New Life Christian Church started their first multi-site campus, Lead Pastor Brett Andrews sat down to formulate the plan.  He had a compelling vision for what the new campus would look like and how they would effectively reach pre-Christians.  But then came the details.  Brett and his team quickly learned that there were all sorts of details that needed to happen in order for the new campus to be started.  Brett was left wondering why every time a church was started were we recreating the wheel.  Out of this frustration, project management was born.

When starting a new church, there are several things a church planter must do that are one time only tasks.  A good example is filing all the legal paperwork (Articles of Incorporation, EIN, 501c3, etc.)  Because the church planter isn’t an expert in these tasks and has had no formal training it takes them a long time to figure out resulting in less time spent on evangelism and discipleship, which results in a smaller impact.  Our project managers are experts in the one time only tasks for starting new churches.  Our mission is simple: Keep church planters focused on people.  That’s why our blog might not be the most exciting, controversial, though provoking blog out there.  But hopefully you find the posts will save your time and money allowing you to spend more time with people.
