Nearly eighty percent of all new churches fail, leaving countless discouraged church planters wondering why. Ben Arment answers their question with Church in the Making by identifying and expanding on three God ordained conditions that make for a successful church plant even before the doors open: Good Ground (the spiritual receptivity of the community), Rolling Rocks (identify where God is already bringing people, funds, and other resources together for his purposes), and Deep Roots (a group of leaders who can align people and resources to achieve the church’s mission).
