Thoughts on Networks from Current Network Leaders

"Starting a network forced leaders to re-examine our theoretical commitment to church planting and test whether or not we trusted each other enough to take-on big financial and relational risks. The result has been richer fellowship among leaders and churches, substantially more resources and a growing harvest of new churches."

~Mike Kelly, Crosspoint Churches, Seattle, WA

~~~

"We desire to accomplish for God that which can only be done when churches and presbyteries cooperate together with a unifying vision and a shared sense of mission that demonstrates the greatness, glory and power of the Gospel."

~ Bruce Finn, Metro Philadelphia PA Church Planting Partnership

Thoughts on Networks from Current Church Planters

"The New Church Network allows me to be involved with something that is bigger than simply my church and my corner of the city. Together we can affect the entire city, something I could never do alone. "

~~~

"Scripture teaches us that we are created to live in community but often we church planters act as if we've never heard that mandate, doing it alone... and then failing. The Network puts me in a community that supports, encourages and prays for my success. I could not do this alone...and wouldn't want to."
