Church Planting
Planting churches for Gospel transformation in every community.
Our Purpose
The Metro District partners with churches and church planters to expand the gospel footprint by providing community, support and knowledge to help all of our church plants advance!
We seek to plant many expressions of the church to reach the diversity of people across our region, from mono-ethnic to multi-ethnic, urban to suburban to rural, missional to attractional, liturgical to contemporary, full-time or bi-vocational. No matter your style or structure, Metro church plants are deeply committed to bringing holistic gospel transformation to their communities.
Our Strategy
DISCOVER
We want to help you discern what God has in store for you.
DETERMINE
Following the Discovery phase, and with the approval of the Church Planting Team, individuals will be invited in the Stadia Assessment process. A full evaluation of the leader’s character, competencies, and qualifications for being a church planter will be done to determine next steps.
DEVELOP
Following the Determination phase, leaders who have been affirmed by the Church Planting Team and by Stadia will being a planning and coaching process for church planting.
DEPLOY
Following the Development phase, church planters are sent out to begin a new gospel expression.
The Church Planting Team provides assistance with networking, stewardship, legal and logistical concerns, coaching and resourcing.
