How can you personally get involved?
- PRAY: You can commit to pray for the church planting pastors and new churches within the Northwest Conference.
- DECIDE: Encourage your church leadership to step out in faith and get involved in reaching the lost through parenting or partnering to plant a new church.
- GATHER: You can begin to form a launch team of people who are willing to go out to plant in a nearby community or neighborhood.
- HELP: If presented with an opportunity, commit to assist in a new church plant in whatever way(s) you can.
- COMMIT: Become a Northwest Conference Church Planting Partner, or CPP. By committing to be a CPP you agree to support through prayer, and/or with ongoing financial support, the development of new churches in the Northwest Conference.
How can your church get involved?
- Your church can decide to be a Parenting Church. As a parenting church, your church agrees to provide a portion of the needed funding, prayer, material support, and encouragement. Many churches designate a portion of their annual mission giving to church planting.
- If you attend a smaller church, your church can commit to join a Partnering Church Network where 4-8 churches join together to plant a church, sharing the costs and the commitment. This puts church planting within the reach of every Covenant church in the Northwest Conference. "Every Church a Planting Church."
- Your church can commit to send some people out to help in the planting of a new church.
- During this time your church can commit to pray for the new church you have helped to birth.
- Your church can commit a tithe of the money raised during a capital campaign for church planting in the Northwest Conference.
