Planting Churches That Reproduce: Starting a Network of Simple Churches

by Joel Comiskey

This book clearly explains how to plant churches that are simple enough to keep on reproducing and even grow into a movement of churches. Planting Churches that Reproduce is the fruit of Comiskey’s extensive research and personal experience (three church plants in a wide variety of settings). Comiskey not only uses the latest North American church planting statistics but also extends the illustrations to include worldwide church planting. More than anything else, this book will provide practical solutions for those planting churches today. Comiskey’s book is a must-read for all those interested in starting Christ-honoring, multiplying churches.Read table of contents, intro., first chapter, press release, etc. right can also 1-888-511-9995 (Joel Comiskey Group)“Where has this book been? How different might the church be today if Comiskey's invaluable resource had been available even ten years ago? The book we've needed and been waiting for is here now.” LEONARD SWEET Drew University, George Fox Evangelical Seminary“This is an important book not only because it involves a return to a more genuinely biblical ecclesiology, but also because it envisions the much more dynamic form of church that will advance the cause of Jesus in the 21st Century.” ALAN HIRSCH Author of The Forgotten Ways, co-founder of shapevine.com“I don’t think I’ve read anything as clear and as concise as this, or as practical.” BOB ROBERTS Pastor of NorthWood, author of Transformation, The Multiplying Church“If you’re a church planter or part of a church plant that is passionate about reaching the Next Generation, then this book is a must read!” AUBREY MALPHURS Lead Vision Navigator with the Malphurs Group“Joel’s insights will encourage those engaged in church planting to rapidly expand through cell or house church networks.” ED STETZER Author of Lost and Found, Planting Missional Churches

A Good Intro to Cell and House Churches

Comiskey's book is a good introduction to planting cell and house churches. It's basic with core basic principles. It does not get into the depth of details like "Where Do We Go From Here?" By Ralph Neighbors or "The Church Comes Home" by Wolfgang Simpson.

Good reminder of how planting churches doesn't have to be overwhelming, but does require people who are called to church planting. They have to be catalytic types!
