The Redeemer Church Planting Manual is an extensive compendium of outlines, lectures, essays, exercises and other materials that prepare learners for church planting especially in an urban setting. As with other similar manuals this manual shares the conviction that church planting is the single "most effective evangelistic methodology known under heaven." (C.P. Wagner) But most books on new church development are either too general (telling us why to do church planting but not how to do it) or too specific (telling us how to reproduce just one particular kind of church model.) This manual is to equip the reader to think creatively about how to start churches in any context, culture or people group.

Growing Visionary Leaders, Vital Churches and Multiplication Movements in the City

Coaching, a buzzword in the sports and business communities for some time, has only recently been embraced by church planting practitioners. This late adoption is perhaps not strange since leadership development in the church, ever since the early 19th century when it went to an academic model for training ministers, has focused more on knowing than on doing. At Redeemer our interest in coaching peaked as we focused on accomplishing our goal of starting several hundred new churches in the city. We knew that a movement of church planting would be impossible without the helping roles of trainers, supervisors and coaches. Now Allen Thompson’s manual narrows our understanding of coaching. He indicates that coaching lies at the opposite end of the spectrum of telling or instructing. Coaching, rather, is an approach that awakens awareness and responsibility on the part of the church planter. This is done through a relationship of trust that provides feedback through inquiry. Reading this manual will not turn you into an expert coach. But it will help you to recognize the enormous potential of coming along side of a person and offering the wisdom of a listening ear.
