There is a rapid pace of change in our culture and it has raised a number of questions for a church and how the church is to have impact. Fresh expressions of church are emerging all over the place with different styles echoing and adapting to the assorted nature of our culture. There are new opportunities as well as profound challenges, renewed excitement and vision alongside the reality check of how hard it actually is to plant a church.

This site is for those who are considering, planning or are already engaging in impacting their culture. It is for those who share a commitment to worship and serve Jesus Christ, and desire to build communities of faith that share an outward-focused passion that goes out in the power of the Spirit to do the works of the Kingdom of God, making disciples, planting reproducing churches, and taking the gospel to the nations.

Our Vision For Church Planting

As a movement, we want to plant churches which exhibit the following traits:

  • A commitment to worship and serve the Triune God revealed in Jesus Christ
  • A focus on building communities of faith that worship the Lord in the beauty of His holiness
  • A desire to grow as Spirit-filled communities that hear - and obey - His voice
  • A compassion that leads to training and equipping the church community to serve the poor, the lost, and the sick
  • An outward-focused passion that goes out in the power of the Spirit to do the works of the Kingdom of God, making disciples, planting reproducing churches, and taking the gospel to the nations
