Church Planting & Revitalization
OBEYING THE GREAT COMMISSION THROUGH CHURCH-PLANTING MINISTRY
Make Disciples
The Great Commission doesn’t call us to make decisions but disciples. And disciples aren’t made in seclusion or isolation. They are brought up under the preaching, teaching, and gathering of a local church.
To this end, Cedar Crest is zealous to both plant and revitalize churches in the Lehigh Valley and beyond.
Two Approaches, One Mission
Church Planting
Christians have little trouble understanding the reason for planting churches in places with little-to-no gospel access. However, believers struggle to articulate why we should plant churches at home in the US, especially the Lehigh Valley where there appears to be an abundance of churches.
Dan Hoffstetter, church planter and pastor of Redeemer BFC in Topton, PA, brings clarity both to the what and why of church planting.
Church Revitalization
Church Revitalization is an old yet forgotten concept. Instead of closing a dying church’s doors, revitalization seeks to bring a body back to full health.
Tim Radcliff shares how revitalization relates to the Great Commission and is a practice as old as Scripture.
CP&R Resource Team
Outreach Ministry is recruiting a team willing to champion and foster church planting and revitalization within the Cedar Crest body (learning, educating, and researching). This does not commit you to being part of a church plant or revitalization project.
