Dale Little publishes and lectures on the integration of church planting and theology. He attempts to explore the interface between church planting and theology. This site includes some of those materials. At the moment, most of the articles posted on this site are from a regular column he writes for Japan Harvest (a periodical for evangelical missionaries in Japan). The series is an ongoing one, entitled "Thinking Theologically About Church Planting."
One lecture and one course syllabus, both about church planting and theology, can be found at the <church planting theology> tab above. In addition, Dale's published articles on other theological issues and links to his other theological sites can be found at the <other theology> tab above.
If you wish to download the articles, options for doing so appear at the top of each page. If for some reason you are unable to download directly from this site, please by e-mail in order to request an e-file.

This site, Church Planting Theology, is linked at two places on MisLinks (Church Planting, Theology of Missions). MisLinks is a helpful web based missions resource.
