"Church planting. The way churches are meant to organically grow. Have to cut this short. Time for us to leave for our planted church. It is good. God is good. All the time."
ICYMI - Minnesota is like a garden of "planted" churches. "Planted" churches? Yes. To further propagate the faith, many Bible based churches are allocating part of their offering each week to "plant" another church, somewhere in the metro area. Some even outside the metro area. Some even outside the state. The church we are attending, is one of the "planted" churches from another church. And we have grown. We are now the second biggest church in Blaine. Plus - we have in turn, "planted" six new churches. For those who think the church is dead - not here.
Besides having numerous new churches popping up all over the place, we also have multi-campus churches like Eagle Brook. Eagle Brook is one of the largest churches in the country. But they did not start out that way. Started out very small. Had only one big ask of the congregation (besides financial support) - every week invite someone new to come to church. That worked well for them. They have attracted the un-churched, the former churched, even the over-churched due to legalism. We have attended EB in the past. STRONG Bible messaging.
If you have not been to church for a while, and miss it, this is a great time to get involved once again. There are many (and I mean many) new and upcoming churches all over town. It is a great place to not only worship, but become better equipped to do what the Lord wants us to do. Just yesterday, on our way to breakfast, we saw a car with the name of a new church we did not recognize. My wife looked it up, and it is still another church which is coming to our town.
Church planting. The way churches are meant to organically grow. Have to cut this short. Time for us to leave for our planted church. It is good. God is good. All the time.
