In North American Cross-cultural Church Planting, Dr. Glenn Rogers explains how to plant churches cross-culturally… Of the 300 million people who call America home, nearly 100 million of them are unchurched people. America has one of the highest unchurched populations in the world. Many of those 100 million unchurched people are non-Anglo people who have immigrated to this country. They need to hear the story of Jesus. Planting churches cross-culturally is the best way to reach ethnically-other people, sharing with them the story of Jesus, leading them into a reconciled, renewed relationship with God.

In North American Cross-Cultural Church Planting, Dr. Glenn Rogers argues persuasively for applying time-tested missions principles to the task of planting ethnically-other churches in the increasingly multicultural environment of North America. Rogers cogently warns individuals, teams, and churches engaged in this particularly challenging church-planting enterprise not to impose Anglo ways on non-Anglo ethnics. Instead, the author insightfully proposes specific guidelines for church planters to follow in developing and implementing culturally sensitive approaches to evangelism, worship, and other modes of ministry that will address the particular needs of different target groups. Written in an accessible style, this book should prove to be a valuable resource that will contribute towards enhancing the effectiveness of church planting efforts among the diverse ethnic groups of North America.
Dr. Bob Carpenter, Professor of Ministry and Missions, Oklahoma Christian University

In a clear, comprehendible style Glenn Rogers untangles many of the complex issues encountered in North American cross-cultural church planting. This book will serve well as a primer for those entering North American church planting as well as providing instructive insight for those already in the critical mission endeavor.

With the significant increase of foreign-born immigrants living in America, churches must be intentional about planting ethnic-specific churches among these communities. In North American Cross-cultural Church Planting, Dr. Glenn Rogers challenges churches do to just that. His work offers a convincing explanation of the missiological purpose of the church, a challenging description of the expanding opportunities to reach non-Anglos with the Gospel, and an important inventory of practical instructions for crossing cultural boundaries to plant churches that are culturally appropriate for ethnically-other people.
Clay Alan Ham, Ph.D., Vice President of Academic Affairs Dallas Christian College

Based upon cutting-edge missiological principles and practices, Rogers provides church leaders with more than a handbook for cross-cultural church planting in North America, he also provides readers with a biblical theology of missions that places evangelism and church-planting where they belong—as the defining purposes of the church.
