There is a growing body of evidence that the church is losing ground in America in terms of the number of people who are truly connected to it. Building a church-planting culture in a confessional Lutheran Setting takes a look at the extent of the problem and offers a solution through exponential church planting. However, this thesis is not a 'how to' for church planters, churches or denominations. Nor does it address how denominations (Lutheran or otherwise) can and should plant churches. Rather, it primarily addresses how confessional Lutheran churches, specifically Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) churches have the privilege and the theology to plant churches exponentially. It is the author's prayer that WELS churches would be motivated to plant churches exponentially through the ideas shared in this thesis. He also prays that such godly planting in the WELS will make significant gains in the number of Americans who are connected to Christ through his church in America.
