I’m consistently on the look out for potential church planters to come and join us here in the West Midlands. There is a particular need for people who are willing to go into inner city, council estate and multi-ethnic cross-cultural contexts.
Whilst conventional church planting involves gathering together a significant sized core team, often from one sending church, this type of approach tends to take time and often means that we don’t reach the hardest to reach, neediest areas. So, there is a particular need for pioneer church planters willing to move into neighbourhoods in ones and twos, to build relationships with the community and open their homes for Gospel outreach and discipleship.
There’s also an opportunity to take a different approach to training and being equipped for planting and pastoring. Theological Colleges do a great job but they are not for everyone and nor do the teach you everything. So whether you have already been to theological college but are looking for further training and development whilst starting to plant, or you are looking for vocational, on the job training, then this might be a good opportunity to do this.
It would be brilliant to see a pioneer planting team launch next Autumn/Winter. If you are interested in being part of that or knows someone who might, then please drop me a message below.
