1.What is “Church Planting”
Jesus used the term “ecclesia” in Matthew 16:18, “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.”
Church Planters aim to launch permanently multiplying and life saving congregations as communities of worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ. In order to truly fulfill Lord’s Great Commission, setting up churches is an indispensable task to nurture individuals, establish and perpetuate Gospel history in all local areas. It builds home both for spiritual and physical activities to realize Gospel in all levels of life.
Church is founded on firm confessions of faith towards Jesus and expressed in a united and harmonious ways through diverse programs.
Church Planters are those who follow calling of the Lord for one of the most significant project in building God’s Kingdom.
