How to Start a Church

  • Begin by searching the mind of God; the Church must be built on the foundation of revelation (Matthew 16:18, 7:24-27)

  • Recruit a few people and go into an extended time of prayer. Displace the territorial spirits over the city and posses the people God has ordained to be part of the Church (Luke 10:18, 11:21-22)

  • Get a suitable venue to start. Fix a date for a take-off, advertise and commence your services.

  • Develop a good training program for members and workers and commence training a few months after you start.

  • As you train people, give them the responsibilities in the church departments. Ultimately, the cell system gives limitless opportunities for service.

    You will succeed!
