Sponsoring Churches are Vital

Church Planting

Posted Mon, 2009-09-21 16:18 by Christy McDonie

As a sponsored church planter, Bobby Dean recently asked me if I felt supported in the work I am doing. It was the second time in as many weeks I had been asked that question and both times I had to stifle a laugh. My previous church planting experience was in the south with a large sponsoring church. A secondary sponsor, and of course the local association. It was a three-year nightmare that I hope to never repeat. This is the reason for my laugh. I have five partnering entities, four of them churches and the other the Pikes Peak Baptist Association. Read more

Interested in Church Planting?

Church Planting

Are you interested in church planting in Colorado?

One of our constant prayers is that the Lord of the Harvest would continually raise up Harvesters (Luke 10:2). We are available to help you learn more about your role in church planting in Colorado.

Our team of church planting missionaries works to identify places where new churches are needed, to work with churches who want to multiply themselves through church planting, and to identify God-call people to serve as church planters and on church planting teams.

We want to help you clarify that call and determine if we should partner together to plant a church. This outlines our church planting selection process. Read more
