Why do we plant churches?

You may be surprised to find we are so committed to starting new Christian Churches. Perhaps you think there are enough Churches already in his part of the world. Here we explain briefly why this is such a high priority for us.

  • We plant Churches because of our Theology: We believe that church planting is central to world mission. It is a New Testament strategy. The church, ie. a company of people who love Jesus and are filled with the Holy Spirit - is God's master plan for demonstrating His grace and power and wisdom to the world.
  • We plant Churches because of the Need: There are spiritually lost people all around us who need to know Jesus. Only the church has the good news of God's love in Christ which they desperately need. Each locality deserves to see radical Spirit-filled churches, and Christians living out the gospel among them.
  • We plant Churches because of our Mission: We have been given a Great Commission to 'go' and we believe church planting is one of the most effective ways of fulfilling this command. We cannot wait for the world to come to the church. We can take church to the people by pioneering new groups and planting new churches.

County Church seeks to establish strong harmonious relationships with other Christian Churches in the area. It’s not our intention to attract people who are already committed members of other churches; our priority is to join with other Christian groups and strengthen current strategies for demonstrating the love of Jesus to the communities in which we live.
