Principles & Problems
for Urban Church Planting

Reflections on a new church development in Wujya, a planned community of 30,000 low income workers in south Taiwan.

Wujya, a planned community, outside the huge city of Kaohsiung in Fengshan, started 3-5 years before this church began. We will discuss 4 principles important to church planting and then later 3 other principles which we had not yet properly learned.

We are not saying that these are the only principles that need to be occurring during a good church start. That would be absolute folly. We are only emphasizing those things that have been emphasized in this one church planting experience.

Developing Plans

Embracing Challenges

Praying in Faith

Loving your Teammates

We also faced problems that were not so obvious at the time.

Discipleship Planning

Leadership Training

Instilling Vision

This series has 31 slides with accompanying text. They are designed as a series: start from the beginning and continue on. There is, however, an index for your use. A Powerpoint slide presentation is also available.

Where were you in the summer of 1986? We were by God's grace experiencing a wonderful opportunity of starting a church in southern Taiwan with a wonderful team of workers. The slideshow is meant to be instructional, but it can be fun to see the photographs of life in the Republic of China. - Paul

Church Planting

God's love is sufficient to change the world now!
