Why plant churches?
Jesus plan to build his church (Matthew 16:18) and his command to go make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20) has always been carried out through planting and establishing churches (The book of Acts). Sending missionaries and church plants has always been part of God’s plan for making a people for His glory. God has always used a small community of believers planted in a region to reach that region.
What will it take?
While budget, attendance numbers and other practical factors are important for a church planting church, the key issue is always the spiritual health and disciple-making culture of the church. By God’s grace, Faith Bible Church is striving to spiritual maturity and a disciple-making mindset. We seek to develop a core of people ready to go and a core of people able to step up and fill their shoes!
What about the future of Faith Bible Church?
God promises to bless and use a church committed to being a loving community making disciples of Jesus Christ. As long as we are devoted to Apostolic teaching, prayer, sharing life, and celebrating the gospel, God will keep adding to our numbers (Acts 2:42-47).
