It takes almost no money to plant a church or very little

It depends on what your goals are. This is a good read and has bearing on the subject.

Around here 1210 is a large church.

Around here 1210 is a large church.

Here in the UK it would be an unusually-large church!

"Pastors should be training their successors. New pastors rise from churches, not seminaries. Paul told Timothy to look for faithful men who will be able to teach others also (2 Timothy 2:2). We must follow the biblical example of leadership training in the local church." (from the linked article)

I agree full heartedly, our local churches need to be discipling future leaders, church planters, evangelists, and teachers.

I think a healthy church would not need to totally import its staff, but rather its staff would be a mix of home grown and imported leaders.

opps - that was 120 (One hundred Twenty)

In that case, I think that church is doing an exceptional job.
