Church Planting - Strategic Initiative
Life Together Churches (LTC)
is a network that supports people hosting worship and congregational life in
small group environments. The network
provides everything needed to enable a local group to quickly and effectively
start a small group worshiping community and sustain its life and growth. In this way the network lives out its common
vision to make disciples who make disciples and to plant churches that plant
churches linked together by shared leadership, resources and passion. Its first order concern is to live out
Christ’s Great commission to make disciples for the sake of preaching,
teaching, and confessing Jesus Christ
as God’s Word for us and for our salvation.
The LTC network provides
ongoing pastoral leadership to facilitate quick deployment and sustained
support for churches. It provides
administrative support for initiating small group worshiping communities,
coaching for local leadership, worship planning, discipleship training
resources for all ages, and network-wide communications. The central focus on evangelism and
discipleship makes creative use of today’s media and web based technologies
critical for effective everyday operation and vital for outreach to a culture
that requires it. LTC also provides for
an organic web of existing and emerging relationships that extend well beyond
the local group by facilitating large group gatherings in the form of
conferences and retreats.
