Between 1990-2005 in urban Toronto, several church plants failed, leaving planters and church people disillusioned, judicatories hesitant and the people of the city under-reached for the gospel. This study found 113 churches had been planted. Surprisingly, only ten (9%) closed, another five had fewer than twenty in average attendance, yielding a failure rate (13%) far lower than expected (65-75%). Churches targeting ethnic/linguistic groups were most numerous and likely to succeed. Biblical and theological foundations are explored, especially a Christian understanding of failure and success. Lessons are drawn from four church planters whose churches closed or failed to thrive.
