Church Planting
______________________________________________________________________

Our Mission – To glorify God by multiplying healthy churches among all people in and beyond the Allegheny District.

Our Vision – To reach at least 1% of the unreached 12,000,000 people who live in the Allegheny    District.  That means 400 churches of 300 in size.  In specific, to see the Allegheny District get to a growth rate of at least 10 new churches a year over the next 5 years, and growth especially by conversion to Christ and not transfer.

 Our Values –

       We value the strong use of systems for successful planting (see our systems link at the left).

We value  the involvement of our existing Allegheny District Evangelical Free Churches (and other like minded churches) in the planting process.

We value church-plants with a clear plan for reaching lost people.

We value church-plants who plan to reproduce more church-plants.

We value the right chemistry and clear involvement of our church-plants in our District and EFCA movement.

 Our Leadership – the development of a church-planting and multiplication movement in the Allegheny District is directly overseen by Pastor Jim Culbertson and a Church-Planting Team.  The CP Team consists of pastors, associate pastors, lay-people and proven church-planters who understand what it will take to create a movement in our district and to see significant gospel impact.
