Church Planting
Our Story | Our Leadership | What We Believe | Our Vision | Church Planting
Because we believe that through God works powerfully
through the local
church,
Sanctuary is a part of the Acts 29
Network,
an inter-denominational church planting
movement that trains, funds, and sends pastors into varying cultures
with the gospel to start new churches. As a part of this network, 10
percent of our budget is set aside to support other church plants and
to further
our vision to plant churches in our city and throughout the world.
"The
vigorous, continual planting of
new congregations is the single most crucial strategy for 1) the
numerical growth of the Body of Christ in any city, and 2) the
continual corporate renewal and revival of the existing churches in a
city. Nothing else–not crusades, outreach programs,
para-church
ministries, growing mega-churches, congregational consulting, nor
church renewal processes–will have the consistent impact of
dynamic, extensive church planting.”
