Established Churches and Church Plants

How can church plants and existing churches help each other?





Brandon Levering wrote a great article in which he asked, 
"What would happen if more churches embraced the passion and energy of new church plants?" He continues to describe five things established churches can glean from church plants.  His list includes:
  1. Church plants clearly define their mission and keep it before them in everything they do.
  2. Church plants feel an acute sense of urgency to engage in evangelism.
  3. Church plants tend to better understand the culture they're engaging.
  4. Church plants use a wider portion of the congregation in the congregation in service.
  5. Church plants are morel likely to think strategically about planting more churches.
What things would you add to his list?  If you were making a list of things church plants could learn from established churches, what would you include?

God is doing great things as He continues to call people to Himself through His Church!   Let's learn from each other so that we might become more effective in reaching our areas for Christ!
