New churches typically draw most of their new members from the ranks of the unchurched, but they will also attract some people from existing churches. When we lose two to three families to a church that is bringing in a hundred new people who weren’t going to any other church before, we have a choice! We must ask ourselves, “Are we going to celebrate the new people the kingdom has gained through this new church, or are we going to bemoan and resent the families we lost to it?” In other words, our attitude to new church development is a test of whether our mind-set is geared to our own institutional turf or to the overall health and prosperity of the kingdom of God in the city. Any church that bemoans its own small losses instead of rejoicing in the larger gains of the kingdom is betraying its narrow interests. Yet the benefits of new church planting to older congregations can be great, even if that benefit is not initially obvious.4”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Timothy Keller" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/timothy-keller/a-new-church-in-the-community-usually-leads-existing-churches-to-face/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/daa/timothy-keller-240_church-community_a-new-church-in-the-community-usually-le_1532648.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/daa/timothy-keller-240_church-community_a-new-church-in-the-community-usually-le_1532648.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/daa/timothy-keller-240_church-community_a-new-church-in-the-community-usually-le_1532648.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“A new church in the community usually leads existing churches to face this issue of kingdom-mindedness.
