Church Planter’s Conference: Perry’s Main Session

Here are the notes from Perry’s main session at the church planter’s conference:

• "I still have no idea what I’m doing."
• Exodus 33
• Relook at your calling.
• "If you’re a pissed off youth pastor, don’t go start a church. If you’re a disgruntled staff member, don’t go start a church. You have to be called by God."
• "Church planting is not safe. It’s not easy. God always calls us to things that are unsafe. If you want to be safe, get out of ministry."
• Relook at your people.
• Make sure you have the right people on board. "God, if you’ve called me to do this, who have you called to do this with me."
• "If you are afraid to ask people for serious commitment, then you don’t need to lead your church."
• Relook at your vision.
• Exodus 33:13
• "If your vision is to be like someone else, that’s not a vision. That’s an admonition."
• Relook at your potential.
• Exodus 33:14-18
• The glory of God is not found in committees and voting.
• "If you’re preaching the Gospel, it can’t be watered down."
• "It’s only beginning. God can do more."
• Eph. 3:20 > God’s potential is unlimited. So, for his sake, don’t give up.
