Did the planter develop a team first?
If so, how long were they together before planting?
Who was on the team and what responsibilities did they have?
Did the planter have the Mission and core values in place first?
Did the pastor cast a compelling vision? (And if so, compelling to who?)
How many hours did the planter spend in the field with unchurched and in the office and church meetings?
Why does the pastor think it failed?
Why do the people think it failed?
How much financial support did they have?
What are the top spiritual gifts of the pastor?
Did they do a DISC profile and if so, was the pastor a high D or C?
Did they do an MBTI and if so, was the pastor an NF?
How good a communicator was the pastor?
How good was the worship?
What was in place to disciple the people?
Were most of the first group of worshippers from other churches of the same denomination or were they new Christians?
