Our Values

Church Planting

The call of Christ to make disciples cannot be conceived of apart from individuals being brought into a worshipping community; a church. The apostle Paul’s strategy for evangelizing a city and by extension, a region was to plant churches. Denominational studies have demonstrated church planting as the most effective strategy for evangelism.

Diversity of Churches for a Diverse Region

The 4 Presbyteries encompass a very diverse region consisting of urban, suburban, rural communities as well as tremendous cultural diversity. We need planters and churches equipped to communicate and incarnate the gospel in diverse ways for our diverse region.

Collaboration

There is a great opportunity for a powerful synergistic relationship between urban, suburban and rural ministries. Every church has resources that could be invested in church planting: prayer, time, ministries, money and people. We believe that we can do far more together than we can do apart.

Support for the Planter and their Wives

Given the rigors and challenges of church planting, planters need strong support throughout the whole process; from planting to particularization. This includes prioritizing coaching, on-going training, church planter community and support for planters’ wives.

Prayer

Kingdom centered prevailing prayer will be essential to church planting work. Planters, presbyteries, and churches must prioritize and collaborate in praying for the Gospel to saturate our region through the planting of new churches.

Our Team

The MetroPhiladelphia Church Planting partnership is led by an Oversight Council consisting of Teaching and Ruling Elders representing each of the 4 Presbyteries.
