Church Plantology: The Art and Science of Planting Churches

Written by Peyton Jones and Ed Stetzer

Narrated by Jon Gauger

The first comprehensive textbook on effective church planting from a veteran church planter.

The Apostle Paul was a veteran church planter who "laid a foundation like a wise and master builder" and there is much we can learn from his example. Paul indicated that there were basic skills and experiences required to successfully plant a church. Church Plantology examines the wide variety of church planting methods and ideologies in contemporary pastoral practice and outlines a biblical model based on the New Testament.

During his time in prison, Paul spent much of his time writing to Titus, Timothy, and others who'd served alongside him in the trenches to complete their training as church plantings. We can continue to apply these time-tested, proven methods, following the pioneering example of the early church.

Today, the casualty rate in is high. What if we could reduce the odds of failing? Church Plantology by Peyton Jones is a robust guide to planting that will help planters to provide the foundation necessary to survive beyond the initial first years so that they don't end up a walking statistic.

Graphics and reflection questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Reviews for Church Plantology

[Edwin Morales · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It revolutionized my way of thinking, broke down strategies according to scripture, while not leaving out the supernatural existence and work of the Holy Spirit through the planter. It is a great resource for those who hunger reality while serving The King of kings in the adventure of church planting. I would love to volunteer translating this manuscript to Spanish if the author gets back to me. I am on year two of my planting adventure and I don’t feel I’m going at it blindly or on my own. I am a by-vocational planter and I drive for work so I listen to the audiobook throughout my day. Simply priceless
