Master Plan has been written to provide a comprehensive working agenda for anyone seeking to lay biblical foundations for the church. Using over 100 New Testament images, the author describes the nature and function of the church in terms of 24 universal principles. Although written primarily as a resource for cross-cultural church planters, the biblical teaching also provides the curriculum needed to bring believers in any culture to spiritual maturity. Complete with questions for reflection and discussion after each chapter.

"Well researched and skillfully written, MASTER PLAN is a refreshing look at church planting basics. Woodford answers the most vital strategic question of church planting teams - what are the essentials of church? A useful guidebook for the fields as well as the classroom, it offers a model that is universally communicable - a simple home of five room."
