Church Planting

The raising up of Biblical churches can be likened to a wartime like activity. As it is recorded of Spurgeon, "At his suggestion two hundred and fifty members left the Tabernacle to begin a new church at Peckam. Several other instances of this starting of new causes by Tabernacle people took place. 'The Pastor was always pleased when such a battalion left the main army to carry on operations elsewhere.'" (pg. 172, Spurgeon: A New Biography: Arnold A. Dallimore)
