A major question aspiring church planters should be asking themselves is, “Where do churches need to be planted?”
Ethos is defined as “the fundamental character or spirit of a culture; the underlying sentiment that informs the beliefs, customs, and practices of a group or society. It is the distinguishing character or disposition or a community, group, or person. To simplify, an ethos is expressed through spontaneous, recurring patterns.”
