Decades of Church-Planting Wisdom—Distilled for You.
Church planting is more than a dream—it’s a calling that demands courage, clarity, and wisdom. In this powerful resource, Matt Peeples sits down with Steve Pike, founder of the Church Multiplication Network and the Urban Islands Project, to unpack over thirty years of lessons from the frontlines of church planting. Before there were networks or playbooks, Steve was forging a path—learning what works, what fails, and what it takes to build communities that last. Now, for the first time, those insights are captured and distilled into one practical, actionable guide. Drawing from the launch of over 2,500 churches and years of pioneering urban planting models, Steve reveals the Eight Habits of Highly Effective Church Planters—the essential rhythms that separate thriving planters from those who struggle to survive. These habits aren’t theory; they’re proven patterns of leadership, faith, and perseverance that have multiplied movements and transformed neighborhoods. Whether you’re dreaming about starting a church, leading a new plant, or reigniting a missional spark in your congregation, this resource will help you build with wisdom and confidence. You’ll walk away equipped with the tools, principles, and mindsets that sustain leaders for the long haul—helping you lead with vision, grit, and grace in every context, from suburbs to city streets.
