Church planting
Demonstrated Christian character is essential to church planting for gaining credibility and building community. Three core values gain primacy and drive church planting forward through the Send Network. These are brotherhood, multiplication and kingdom.
Brotherhood
This value speaks to the part of us that rejects isolationism and craves kingdom collaboration. To help foster that spirit of brotherhood, we have tactically imbedded City Missionaries in the 32 most spiritually needy cities across North America.
Multiplication
No church sets out from the start to become the dead-end link on the Great Commission chain. We are developing tools and residencies to equip planters and existing churches facilitate movements beyond a singular church plant.
Kingdom
Core to our theological underpinnings is the understanding that the Church was never meant to become the primary goal and idolatrous fascination of a disciple of Christ. Rather, by weight of Jesus’ teachings, the Church is to see herself as the primary vehicle to a much larger goal, the kingdom of God.
These three values, organically infused into what we believe to be a groundbreaking and holistic church planting support process, are becoming game-changers for a new generation of church planters. We are excited by the results we are seeing in community after community across North America.
If you, like many of us, have dreamed of being part of a brotherhood that seeks to embody values like these, perhaps your next step is to say, “Send me.”
