What Will the Church Plant Look like?
• Preaching – expository teaching of the scripture
• Prayer – intercession before the Lord for God and one another
• Praise – testimonies, all the arts, candles, and encouragements
• Communion – the body breaking bread together
• We will not be a program-run church (i.e. Come join us) we will be a Great Commission-run church (i.e. Go! into the culture and build relationships, teaching the Gospel)
• We do not have adult programs; our ministries will be our jobs and our social networks. (i.e. High School Events, Parties, office break rooms, our families, Social clubs, Community Clubs, any place that the culture meets will be our ministries)
• Our church government will be a plurality of Local Elders/ Pastors, based off scriptural qualifications from Titus and Timothy, who lead and teach the church with authority. Our Senior Pastor is Jesus Christ and that title is reserved for Him alone, our church does not revolve around a man but around God.

As the disciples were going about their daily routines, Jesus calls them and then promises to do something very radical in them. "I will make you." The word "make" brings with it the implied creative work of God, and is also used of Jesus performing miracles. One of the most beautiful results of your new church plant will be the transformation of the believers who join you in the work. The beautiful part of planting a church is knowing that when all is said and done God will have used the planting process to shape you into the image of Christ.

The second thing we see Jesus promise is to convert their values. His transforming work is focused on shifting their values. From fishermen to fishers of men. The term must have brought about confusion to the men. What does the term mean? These were guys who had done the hard work of learning the fishing trade. They were unschooled and unlearned. They knew no other way of life. For them to leave fishing was to leave their security, comfort, and ultimately to leave their deepest sense of value.

Values are perhaps one of the most important areas of life. It is from our deepest values that we make choices that reflect who we most truly are. Show someone your checkbook and your daily schedule and you are showing them what you value the most. The demise of the church today is a break down in values at its core. We say we believe in loving the lost, then we form legislative committee's to protect us from having to relate to them. Values, however, never lie. The world thinks the church is judgmental and hypocritical because we have shown the world something other than Christ.

Values are not things we teach as much as things we live. You don't choose values because they are true you adopt them into your life because they move your heart. Often times we value and hold sacred things that clearly reflect the world, the flesh, and the devil, rather than Christ and His kingdom. When this happens we must name it as idolatry and lead people in repentance. You must be able to articulate your values and support them biblically, and ultimately make your deepest choices out of those values.
