Church Planting
Within the Linknz network of churches we have a commitment to plant great churches in NZ and then into the nations. From major cities and then in to the surrounding regions we have a goal to plant and establish these communities.
A goal to see twenty new churches planted throughout NZ in the next ten years is our initial vision.
Hope you can join us!
Why plant churches?
Because over 3 and a half million people in NZ have no profession of faith in Jesus
Because God wants to fill the earth with His family
Because we need new and creative churches with a pioneering passion
Because it works .
How can I get involved?
DO: You can start doing it. Through introducing people to Jesus and introducing them to other believers.
PRAY: Pray for one of our new church plants. Contact us below on our email and we will give you updates of what is happening.
ASK: Ask God how you can get involved. Ask your leaders how you can start a process that could support or lead to a new church plant.
EXPLORE: Consider a move to join one of our new church plants. Speak to leaders about further training processes to help in this.
START: Talk to your leaders and the linknz network team about planting a cell, outreach or community initiative in your region.
SUPPORT: Find out ways to support those planting churches.Encourage, pray, give financially. A yearly church planting offering will be taken on the first Sunday of March throughout the Linknz churches so that new churches can be given initial financial support where needed.
Where should we plant more churches?
Our society is increasingly fragmented into micro-communities, based on age, race, ethnic minorities, economic divides, etc, we need to find new ways to reach these diverse yet growing communities. It is possible that within one city/town we have a base church that helps to nurture many varied and exciting forms of church plants.
Church planting: the vision!
Officially churches within the Linknz network will take up the annual church planting offering on the first Sunday of May each year where we nationally take up the vision and challenge to become a network of churches that are committed to planting churches.
