It would be reasonable to estimate that multiple hundreds of
thousands of people have become followers of Jesus Christ as a
result of the modern church-planting movement. One characteristic
of the literature of this movement has been an almost singular
focus on the individual who is sent out to lead the new
congregation, rather than on the vital role of the sending or
sponsoring church.
Practically all the books are written with one target in mind:
this individual leader, the pioneer pastor, usually referred to as
the "church planter." "The Mother Church" is not written for
pioneer pastors; it is written for the leaders of potential mother
churches. It is designed to help leaders assess whether and when
the birthing of a new church is a good idea for their congregation
and to provide them with tools to birth and nurture healthy,
thriving, life-giving new churches.
"Church leaders who desire to see their mission efforts survive
and thrive need to give special attention to the hardwon insights
of John Bangs' "The Mother Church." Bangs is not only a mission
planter and pastor, but he brings the broader view of a
church-planting leader ..."

"The Mother Church will revolutionize the way we view and do
birthing of mission churches."
