The world needs more churches because more people need to hear and believe the gospel. That’s why billions of dollars, scores of conferences, and countless books have pushed in the direction of church planting over the last few decades. More than that, many churches have been planted through this sustained emphasis. However, confusion persists around the what’s, when’s, who’s, and how’s of church planting resulting in unhealthy church plants. This issue of Church Matters clarifies how biblical ecclesiology dispels confusion and produces healthy church plants both domestically and around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9Marks exists to help pastors build healthy churches. We create resources and host events focused on expositional preaching, gospel doctrine, conversion and evangelism, church membership, church discipline, discipleship and growth, church leadership, prayer, and missions.
