Matt Naismith planted Church of the Ward in Guelph ON and later merged that church with another church plant before ultimately moving on to help with denominational church planting efforts.
In this episode we talk about why Matt planted Church of the Ward in Guelph ON with all of the pros and cons of a very local church. We talk about moving into needy neighbourhoods and how that affects the family of the church planter. We also talk about why Matt decided to merge his church with another church plant and later, why he decided to move on from that church. This is an honest, frank conversation about the twists and turns of church planting and the decisions you never thought you'd have to make.
