It tends to be one of the first questions people ask when the idea of starting a new spiritual community/church comes up: do we really need another church in the area? Aren't there enough for people to go to?

Well, turns out a lot has been written about this. The keynote essay on this in the last 20 years has probably been Tim Keller's work here.  Take a look and be inspired to join what Jesus is doing in starting new Jesus communities.

Prayer Points:

For God to give you a personal, deep conviction of the need to start new Jesus-communities.
