Hi, my name is Joe Miller. I came to your site today for the first time and was very excited to see the direction you are leading.

I am doing a church plant in Orting Washington. We are coming up on our 1 year launch anniversary! I am working on my Doctor of Ministry project through Talbot School of Theology. My dissertation is focused on the development of teams for planting churches.

I am pleased to have the participation of guys like Eric Bryant, Gary McIntosh, Gary Irby, Nelson Searcy and several national leaders of church planting movement. I also need more church planters who have built a Core/Launch Team. Guys who have developed several teams and guys who are early on and just now developing a team for the first time can support this project. I would especially love to have your input because I think you are doing some things that are different than some of the other guys helping on this project.

Would you be willing to share your expertise by helping advance this project? If so, please take this short 5 minute survey.

Thanks for your time and help the cause of church planting!
Joe

Hi Tyler, the quote is from Neil Cole – you should ask him! Of course, I do have a view on the issues and maybe I’ll blog about it sometime – perhaps when I have an occasion to prepare something on it.

a request — would you give your definitions of apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher, and evangelist? i ask this not to test your doctrine but to put tangible handle bars to your statement above about going out with two, an apostle and a prophet. who are each of those and what do they do?

Tim,

Thanks for the great summary of Organic Church. All of this hits me like, “I know all this…here it all is in writing…Now I need to DO it!.” I have long suspected that if we are to truly use the term “church planting” we would need to start with “seeds” (unrestored family) and not the “fruit” (restored/believers).
