Welcome to the St. Andrew's
Church Planting Resource Center
The Lord has been gracious with us here over the
past several years and has blessed us beyond measure. We believe,
like Abraham (Genesis 12), that we have been blessed to be a blessing
and humbly offer this Resource Center as a tool for individuals,
groups and churches to use as they join God in starting new churches
that multiply more churches. We do not offer the material here
out of a sense of accomplishment or any particular expertise.
Rather, we believe that God called us to the work
of starting a new church here in Little Rock, not merely for the
ministry that we could do locally, but also to act as a witness
and encourager to others who would follow around the country.
We did not have that understanding when we first started on our
adventure, but there are many lessons that we have learned along
the way, which we feel called to share.
As you review the resources that we provide and
the resources that we highlight in the Additional Reading Section,
keep in mind that suggestions, recommendations and models presented
are there for review and local adaptation, according to the cultural
setting that God has placed you in, and they are not there to
simply adopt without considering your cultural setting.
For many that are visiting this site for the first
time, you are at a beginning point and you may feel as small as
a mustard seed. Our prayer is that God will bless you for your
faithfulness in submitting yourself to His vision of starting
a new church and don't forget our Lord's promise to those with
faith the size of a mustard seed (Matthew 17:20)!
