Are you thinking about church planting, but facing doubts or obstacles?

You are not alone.

The church planters at Church Extension Ministries of the Bible Fellowship Church have worked through many of the same questions you have, including:

Am I qualified to be a church planter?
Can my family afford it?
How will church planting impact my wife and children?
How will the details come together with a core group, a location, a vision, and more?

Watch the video to think through common questions and challenges about church planting along with actual Bible Fellowship Church church planters.
