What it's Like to Plant a Church: When it Doesn't Work Out

In this final episode of our mini-series on church planting in C4SO, we discuss something that often happens in church planting, but isn’t talked about a lot: when church planting doesn’t work out, and the church needs to close its doors.

Our guests are the Rev. Kimberly Deckel and Rev. Andrew Stravitz, who were planting All Souls in Phoenix together, and the Rev. Adam Jones, who was planting Mercy Anglican Church in Seattle.
