In a church planting partnership, churches work together and share resources to accomplish what none of them could do alone.
A church planting partnership consists of pastors and churches who voluntarily come together to plant churches in a specific target area; these areas may be geographic, demographic, or interest-based. Together, along with the people living in the target areas, partnerships develop a vision, develop strategic plans, and set specific goals towards starting churches in neighboring towns and cities.
Planting churches is without question a difficult road to walk down, and many pastors and church leaders hesitate to try it for fear of not having enough of resources to pull it off effectively. The time, energy, people, and financial commitments can seem overwhelming and, for some, make planting churches seem impossible. Partnering with other Vineyard pastors and leaders addresses these issues.
Every single Vineyard church can be a parent and a partner.
