How to Merge or Adopt Churches

What does it mean to adopt, merge, or foster a church? These are all terms for coming alongside a struggling church and nurturing and resourcing it back to health. In this podcast, Marshall Fant discusses with Bill Park how a healthy, disciple-making church goes through the process of adopting a struggling church. For over 40 years, Bill Park pastored High Point Baptist Chapel, a church that "planted" in one way or another 16 to 18 churches. This ministry has been promoted by Christ's promise that "I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
