Churches Who Partnered With US
At the beginning of 2013, seven churches partnered together to form what they called a LEAD Team. This was simply a group of churches who believed God's kingdom was bigger than any one church. All of them individually wanted to expand God's kingdom, but weren't in a place where they could start a new church by themselves. So they committed to helping a church get started by coming alongside of a church planter and their wife.
These seven churches have committed to helping by financially giving, praying, and sending people from their individual churches. The hope was that this new church would be self-sustaining, and able to reach a group of people who weren't being reached with God's love and kingdom yet. These seven churches were the ones who helped Encounter Church get started: |
