Discover. Your purpose…
The Baptist movement has a goal of a thousand healthy churches in a generation. A key part of this goal is for every NSW & ACT Baptist church to be linked to a church planting project in some way, either directly or indirectly. Church planting is exciting, risky, challenging and rewarding as we see God work in new ways in the lives of people. As we give ourselves to the mission of Jesus in the world, our own lives and those of people in our churches are enriched.
Discover
Dive into the Discernment Process and discover if leading a church plant or joining a team is part of God’s plan for you.
Identify new opportunities through regional mapping and strategic partnerships.
Form
We offer coaching support for you and your planting team as dreams and ideas take form. The annual evangelism and church planting conference, FORM is a festival of new ideas, storytelling, masterclasses, networking, team building and much more.
Influence
Broaden your influence by becoming a sending church. For churches looking to plant we have mapping exercises, consultations and the Design Lab to help you understand your region or local area and where God is at work.
Regional Mapping
Groups of churches/regions work with people on the ground to identify potential opportunities through our mapping exercises. They develop these opportunities into new worshipping communities. Contact us to find out more about mapping sessions.
