Our mandate as disciples is to make disciples. Biblical discipleship only happens in the context of a local church. That’s why church planting is crucial!
Growing churches that are equipped to plant churches
We believe church planting is the natural next step for churches that are growing in maturity in Jesus Christ, where each believer is being equipped for ministry.
It's in this context that the whole body is 'growing up in Christ'. Our heart is to see local churches at centre of training and equipping everyday Christians. It's in this context of growth that new leaders are developed and prepared, that the next generation of church planters are equipped to lead and grow new churches.
How CCCNZ can help
CCCNZ can help support your church as you explore what a growing, equipping culture might look like in your context.
Support looks different for different churches, here are some ways we've walked alongside churches that are interested in planting and growing:
Chatting with elders about how to grow a training culture in their church
Connecting experienced church planters with people who are starting out
Telling stories of how God has been at work through church planting
