Welcome!

Currently we are in the process of relocating and transitioning to the Southeast part of the USA after 11 years in Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota.   We will still be with the Evangelical Free Church of America.  You can go to www.sed-efca.org to see the states and where we will be ministering and beginning new churches.  We are growing more excited about the new opportunities and ask you to pray for us.  The harvest is definitely plentiful but workers are few!  So come and help us!

In these last years we have seen Church Planting take bold and aggressive faith steps throughout our areas of influence.  We see denominations working together, sharing resources and the landscape of church planting efforts in our country has changed for the better.  There is still much more that needs to be done toward the transformation of lives and seeing disciples reproduce disciples.

We believe the Spirit of God is raising up workers from the harvest field to begin new churches. The day of only the professionally formally trained church planter is done.  Especially if we desire to see movement.  We are experiencing all different kinds of strategies, different kinds of people, different kinds of visions and in all sizes of communities. The one single concern we have is the spread of the gospel through making disciples that make disciples and reproducing healthy disciple making churches.

If God is tugging at your heart we'd encourage you to contact us, take a look at the pages and resources here and begin to see how God may want you to play a part in what He is doing as Christ builds His church.  Check out our "Hot Opportunities" list for the 12 states we can network you toward.

We desire to do our best to connect, equip and coach church planting couples toward being successful in launching new disciple making churches that reproduce.  We want NO church planting couple left alone in the process!

Our New Ministry Affiliation: The EFCA SouthEast District is a fellowship of Evangelical Free Church of America located in Louisana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennesse.  To learn more about our new ministry check out www.sed-efca.org and www.efca.org. 

Join us in the Southeast because there is much to do and no state has over a 23% church attendance of its population and most states have a lot less church attendance.  The days of the Bible belt are declining.  Besides religious people need Jesus!

Since we where in the Rocky Mountain District for 11 years we are able to connect you with the church planting team there for placement. (Colorado, 2/3's of Wyoming and Southwest corner of South Dakota).  www.rockymountaindistrict.org.  

Our Mission is to bring pleasure to God by seeing new churches develop committed to making disicples that make disciples and reproducing healyhy churches.

Our Motivation is the gospel and making disciples that reproduce.
Too many times the church has been ineffective in making disciples and loving people while contextualizing the message of Christ to the surrounding community.  The church is loosing many of its children raised in the faith to the world system.  Research says it is because they haven't experienced transformational churches.  Whatever the reasoning now is the time for the church to be more intentional in it's strategies and the efforts to make dsiciples that make disciples.  We need churches to get back on mission, the mission Jesus gave the church.  As a district we are NOT about starting churches for convenience sake or simply to begin another Evangelical Free Church either.  We need life giving and transformational churches where lives are changed and communities are impacted for Christ.  The mission of the church is clear and starting new churches is still one the of the best methods to establish a healthy DNA of multiplication personally and corporately.

Our Vision  through God's grace and His leading is to seek to see 1000 new churches begin.  So as we relocate to the SED we are seeking the Lord on timing and new structures in launching new churches.  These churches will be committed to intentionally making disciples and as God leads reproducing new churches.  This is like planting a franchise system not an addition system to assist church planters.  Workers are needed, people of faith from every tribe and color.  The time is now so please prayerfully consider joining us!

OUR ABC's!

Our Church planting processes begin through Assessment, Boot Camp and Ongoing Coaching.  Assessment for the planting couples and their teams.   The Church Planter's Boot Camp focuses on principles and the non-negotiables of the process of launching a new church.  We have seen this boot camp used in many cultures around the world.  Then coaching by experienced church planters/pastors is critical for the entire process.  Numberous workshops are offered by district staff to develop leaders to help each new church be successful through the process.  We desire that every church planter is individually coached.

Lay Driven Teams
Our district strategy includes a true commitment to the priesthood of believers. We have been very successful in empowering lay teams to begin new churches without a pastor and most of those we have coached are active and healthy.  Recognizing that God has specifically gifted each of His children, we desire to come alongside those of you seeking to use your giftedness to reach your community and region for Jesus.  So how has God been speaking to you?  We offer the same resources, coaching and networking for lay starts as we do church planting missionary pastors.  Contact me if you sense God may be leading you this way!  Consider a lay driven team church start.

Where ever you live, work and play God may be calling you to consider beginning a new church committed to principles of multiplication. The older saints used to say "bloom where you are planted"!  I wonder what would really happen in America if the church (God's people) became the church for this century, the new generations and beyond until Jesus returns.  It's Jesus' church not ours!  So the question that faces all of us who know Christ is, what is God asking of me today to make a difference for tomorrow? Be a part a changing future, begin or be a part of new church team that will take us deep into this next century for the cause of Jesus Christ.

Feel free to contact me!  This is all for the glory of God!
