Jeff Foxworthy became famous with his "You might be a redneck if" jokes a decade ago. As you read through these different posts I done on church planting you might be asking yourself if you could be involved in something like that. You might wonder if you are the right type of person to be part of a core team of people that help start a church. Well in honor of Jeff Foxworthy I want to give you some "You might be right for a church plant core team if..."
1. if you believe God has still greater things in store for your city
2. if you believe that even though your a vital part of a church it isn't about you but about God and others
3. if you want to be excited about being a part of something and telling people about it
4. if you like hard work
5. if you want to pray harder and give more of yourself then you ever thought possible
6. if you want to give financially to something that will reap eternal benefits
7. if you stick with things through the good, bad, and ugly because you believe God has called you to be a part of it
8. if you're willing to do what is needed to make it happen
9. if you want to build relationships with people like you never thought possible
10. if you believe that the lead pastor is someone you want to follow because he is doing the best he can to be obedient to God
11. if you like getting there early and staying late because you're helping set-up and teardown
12. if you love meeting new people
13. if you love seeing God change hearts
14. if you believe that the sacrifice in the short-term doesn't even compare to the possibility of the future for both you and your kids
15. if you believe God has chosen for His primary way of reaching un-churched people to be through great churches
