Church Planting Process

What are we doing?

A church plant can be a long process, but we are excited that planting churches is something Jesus has promised to do as He gathers people together into communities of faith, under His care.

This church plant could be described as a “scratch plant.” In contrast to a “daughter church” plant that often starts with a group of people setting out from an existing church, a scratch plant starts from “scratch.” One of the first steps is meeting and gathering a group of people from the target location who would embrace and engage with the mission starting and being a new church.

What’s going on?

Typically the process of a scratch plant could be described with the following stages:

  • Stage 1 - Preparation and Training

  • Stage 2 - Gathering (This is where we are!)

  • Stage 3 - Core Group Development

  • Stage 4 - Public Launch

  • Stage 5 - Establishment

Gathering - Weekly Community Group

We are currently gathering as a small group on Wednesday Nights from 6:30 - 8:00pm.

If you are in the Norwalk area, we would love to have you join us for a family meal centered on getting to know more about Jesus and prayer for one another and our community.
