What would make your list of essentials for a vertical church? Here are four things to consider:

Praying for God’s manifest presence… Isaiah 64:1

Faithfulness where God has placed you… Psalm 37:3

Generosity that leads to increase… Proverbs 11:24

Investing in life-on-life discipleship… 2 Timothy 2:2

Take a few minutes to watch and listen in on my conversations with these four quality men—all of them pastors, church planters, and recent graduates from the Harvest Training Center.
