Faithful preaching and heartfelt living may make a church smaller, but they make it purer and stronger. Christ does not build His church by pleasing crowds, but by making the truth clear.
Church planting is the work of Jesus Christ Himself.
Churches are not built by popularity or strategy, but by:
Faithful preaching of God’s Word
Prayer and dependence on the Holy Spirit
Disciples who love Christ and His Church
“I will build My church.” — Jesus
We plant churches by staying close to Scripture:
Christ Alone – Jesus is the Head
The Word – Clear, Bible-centered preaching
Disciples – Conversion and baptism
The Church – A committed local body
Leadership – Shepherds, not controllers
Health – Faithfulness before numbers
Mission – Disciples who make disciples
We do not measure success by size or popularity.
We look for:
Sound doctrine
Changed lives
Baptisms
Spiritual commitment
Biblical leadership
Prayerful dependence on God
Growth belongs to the Lord.

All church planters serve under a biblical covenant, committing themselves to Christ and the Gospel, to Scripture as the final authority, to faithful preaching and godly living, and to the health of the church above numbers or visibility.
This covenant also affirms accountability and fellowship, reminding us that church planting is never done alone, but always in shared responsibility before God and His Church.
If you sense the Lord leading you toward church planting, we invite you to begin with prayer and conversation.
