Blogger, thinker, pastor and professor David Fitch has a great post on the common fears people have of planting missional churches (Fitch is also a great writer. I highly recommend his book The Great Giveaway for all Christian leaders).
If you’ve thought about planting a church, do these fears ring true with you? Are there other fears you have that Fitch doesn’t address?

1Those were definitely good, I commented on Fitch’s blog about it. Those definitely rang true as real concerns. And as I mentioned there, for me in the black community, missional is so foreign, that I feel like to do so will alienate me from many local churches and possible “partners”. Support is much easier to find in the white community, where it is much more common to find people with a missional perspective.

2Here’s a church I found (through Hull’s “Complete Book of Discipleship”), it is fun and the discipleship section is great: http://www.perimeter.org … I think they are missional. Reminds me of Hiram Shatir’s church.
