Church planting presentation
Dream
develop specialized ministries, working together
work together with church #2 to plant church #3
It's hard but it's healthy!
keeps our evangelistic fire and mission-minded focus
pushes us to mature, develop leadership, delegate, give
not just about the next church; it's about this church
an ingrown church gradually becomes a useless church
From the beginning this has been on our heart
but multiplies into new communities
not a church that just seeks security and size and prestige
be a reproducing church
But how?
What's next?
prepare pastor Eric
Pray for God to build a team (from GBC, in target area)
Save (church planting fund - designations)
Practice (Sneedens, etc.)
Prepare GBC Menifee
Seek the Lord and study possible locations (Corona, the pass)
Target date is fall of 2010
God did!
willing to come spend a couple years making teeth to be part of this vision
could be a lot of other places, paid full time
Southern California, well prepared, shares our vision, philosophy
God has to provide the leadership: a pastor
Come be part of GBC Menifee
but us planting together with them
not them planting, us watching
a Southern Californian would be best!
Keep your ministry streamlined enough to make it possible
Pray
Make it part of your thinking from the beginning
Southern California
churches need to be reproducing, starting other church
but also 20 million souls
many gospel preaching churches in SoCal
great place for those priorities
