What’s the difference between 'Church Planting', 'Replanting' and 'Revitalization'?

2/26/2022

0 Comments

"A church plant is building a house from the ground up - laying the foundation, adding the structures, piping, electrical and so on. Replanting is akin to gutting an older house to remodel it. The foundation remains intact as does much of the skeleton of the home but the plaster walls are taken out, the electoral is updated, and new windows and roof are installed. And lastly, revitalization is making only minimal changes to the house. A paint job, new appliances, and fixing older plumbing and electrical rather than replacing it, but the vast majority of the house remains as it was before."

Do You Love the Holy Spirit?

4/13/2021

0 Comments

"As Christians, we are confessing Trinitarians. This means we profess that the Bible teaches there are three distinct persons in one God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But practically speaking, many of us are probably more bi-nitarian than we care to admit."
