  • Raise up church planters in every local SBC church
  1. Play – Take your active role by contributing to the church planter’s long term health and success.
  • Connect with the planter and his family relationally
  • Recognize and celebrate important milestones
  • Actively look for ways to help rather than waiting for the planter to ask 
  1. Pay – Take your active role by creating a successful financial partnership with the new church plant.
