The Church in Europe: Growing and Declining? First European Research on Church Planting

An overview on research on church planting and mission activity in Europe will be presented. There are many views, but what is really happening in Europe when it comes to church planting? Where is church planting happening? What kind of church planting do we see in Europe? What are the signs of growing church plants? What can we learn from them? What is the state of planting within immigrant communities in Europe? If you want to look into and learn from a growing movement in Europe, this is the workshop for you.
