WHY CHURCH PLANTING?
-
Gives the opportunity to be innovative and creative
Forming fresh expressions of Church that are accessible and relevant, sharing the Gospel in a language that is understood by the communities we serve.
-
Provides for discipleship through mission
Allowing personal transformation, practicing of spiritual gifts, and raising of leaders to occur through the pioneering process.
-
Revitalises, refreshes and re-envisions
Planting revitalises the sending church, refreshes the surrounding churches, and re-envisions the team and leadership for mission.
Church planting isn’t new – the only thing that is new is that we stopped doing it
– Archbishop Stephen Cottrell
