Q> Why are we planting a churches?
A> We believe the clear example of scripture and the commission of Jesus to make disciples is best accomplished in the planting of new churches. Dr. Timothy Keller writes:
“The vigorous, continual planting of new congregations is the single most crucial strategy for 1) the numerical growth of the Body of Christ in any city, and 2) the continual corporate renewal and revival of the existing churches in a city. Nothing else – not crusades, outreach programs, para-church ministries, growing mega-churches, congregational consulting, nor church renewal processes – will have the consistent impact of dynamic, extensive church planting.”
Q> Considering the state of the economy in general, why are we commiting funds for a church plant?
A> Because we believe it is a key priority to the ministry God has given us and that God will bless as we trust Him and move forward. These can be trying times but our God is always faithful and wherever God guides He provides.
