CHURCH PLANTING AND CURRENT DEMOGRAPHIC REALITIES IN NORTH AMERICA!

Abstract

To be able to plant churches that are biblically sound and culturally relevant in North America today there are factors that need to be considered. Apart from the biblical mandate of Jesus Christ and the missiological practices of the early church, it is important to understand modern North American cultural and demographic realities. This is critical to how churches are planted. Concerning cultural context, I am interested in where the culture is going. Often, discussions on culture focus on the past. There is a tendency to eulogize the past especially within the Christian community.
