Church Plant Initiative Team
The church is both the result and agent of proclaiming the gospel. Continually beginning new churches is the best way to advance the Kingdom of God and restrain the tide of sin and suffering. Therefore, we take risks for the kingdom and explore various ways of beginning new churches. Our Church Plant Initiatives Team (CPIT) helps explore why, where, and how we can plant new churches. Planting new churches is unpredictable, yet we plan with reliance on God’s leading and timing.
Our plan is to hire a pastor in the first part of 2022, to begin the work of planting a church in Amelia County! Please be praying for that, and let Pastor Andrew Conrad know if you are interested in being part of the core group that launches this new church.
