Practical Resources - Churches Planting Ministries

Resource Bank

Churches Planting Ministries is an initiative designed to encourage and facilitate local congregations engaging in community ministries with the poor and at risk. So how does a church know where to begin to get involved with issues of compassion and justice? How does a ministry last for the long haul and provide sustainable results? What should congregations teach and preach if they are engaging in community ministry?

"Let us not love with words or tongue, but with actions and in truth." 1 Jn 3:18
