church planting

I thought this was a GREAT post by Bob Hyatt: WHY "YOU" SHOULD PLANT A CHURCH click here to read. (note - I am not speaking on behalf of the cggc, but I personally think this is a great theory).

Here's a little snippet that could apply to anyone:

Failure? In a conversation with a good friend on the day we decided to plant
this church, he asked me a great question: How will you define failure? I
realized through our talk that failure wasn’t if we did this and had to close
the doors in a year because not many people showed up and we couldn’t pay the
bills. Failure would be if we failed to love the people God did bring us, if we
failed to love each other in community, if we failed to feed, clothe and
otherwise care for anyone. That would be failure… not if we simply failed to
achieve any type of long term momentum and institutional stability.
