The other day a church planter who’s moving to the area where he will start a new church, asked me what I was going to be doing once we moved to Cincinnati. Here’s the list:

1. Getting our family settled in
2. Focusing on personal, spiritual development
3. Raising funds = lots of meetings
4. Networking with local leaders (church and otherwise)
5. Building relationships with unchurched people in the area
6. Developing our staff
7. Developing our core group
8. Refining our systems
9. Preparing for launch = purchases, securing a site, etc.
10. Developing our teaching calendar

And I’m confident that more responsibilities will arise as we get closer to launch!
