This past year saw each of our newest round of church plants grow in their missional health. Our more established church plants also continued to faithfully & fruitfully live out their callings. Though not without challenges, significant numbers of people are finding new life in Jesus, neighborhoods are tangibly blessed, and partnerships amongst churches and kingdom-minded people are getting established.

Two additional church plants are underway since last year. With the potential for 4-6 additional ones tantalizingly close to being approved.

Your prayers, support, and shared ministry across the Conference is bearing truly amazing fruit!

Much grace,Jason R. CondonASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT, DIRECTOR OF CHURCH PLANTING
