Sean just recently moved to Vancouver B.C. to be part of a church planting movement. He has immersed himself as a missionary into his new community. He studies the people and places he now calls home. He is also asking questions. He is asking questions on what a church plant needs to look like in an urban environment. Sean asks, "What if the focus was on how to start a non-profit that brings about community transformation or partner with the city in some capacity to be able to genuinely be a blessing to your community? What if that was how you started a church first? Here's how the equation might look:
Conventional Church Planting Model: WORSHIP then MISSION
Community Transformation Model: MISSION then WORSHIP
What would it look like for us to engage in these activities long before some kind of public worship gathering?"What do you think?
Grace, Peace, Power
