Ministry Plan
We are joining a church planting team called Connect NYC which Missionaries Ron and Susan Taylor started. Our team consists of seven missionaries who are all on the ground working in New York City. Together, our goal is to plant five churches in each of the five boroughs of New York City! Ron and Susan have already planted two churches: one in Brooklyn and Queens.
Each church that our team plants will be its own stand-alone church because the demographics of the neighborhoods are vastly different. Our top three goals are to reach the lost, grow the church and equip the people. After all three goals are met we will be able to hand the church off to a local Pastor and he will be able to lead a healthy church.
Reaching the Lost- New York City is home to millions who have not heard of the gospel or of Jesus Christ. We will be building relationships with New Yorkers to help lead them to Christ by living life together, sharing what we believe, and building a foundation on whom God is to them.
Developing Churches- With the potential millions of people that will come to know God, we will need local churches to continue pouring into the people and build relationships within the church. This will give the people of New York a place to practice what Christ calls us to. By serving, giving, and reaching others they will be able to grow as disciples of Jesus.
Equipping Leaders- We want to train and grow the men and women of the church to be able to reach the lost people in their community. By helping them grow in spiritual disciplines they will be able to not only reach New York, but anywhere God calls them.
Our goal is to have 25 churches by the time we are done. We believe that once this goal is reached New York will be a better and brighter place because of how God will use these churches.
