Church Planting

When the gospel is faithfully proclaimed and hearts are converted, the work of Christian Study Library explains that planting a church means more than building a new congregation — it means establishing a new community of believers united under the Word, baptism, and the sacraments, where the gospel is preached, heard, and lived out. It’s a God-ordained means for fulfilling the mission of the church, reaching new people and new places with the good news.

Isaiah 54:2 - Are We Enlarging Our Tent and Strengthening Stakes?

Evangelism and mission work are not easy to do. Often people reject you and do not come to faith. How can one get the courage to share the gospel? This meditation encourages us to start with God's promise as given in Isaiah 54:2. When we realize that God gave the promise for church growth, we are encouraged to expect it from him, and labour with hope.
