Therefore, as long as there people outside the Church, we desire to see congregations multiplied.  Based on what we have learned from our African brothers and sisters, we reach out to regions and communities through releasing lay leaders under the godly authority of ordained pastors to raise up parishes of multiple, interconnected congregations.  To learn more about our approach to church planting, click here.

With such diverse contexts throughout North America, the church as never before needs to be incarnational in order to be meaningful.  In Greenhouse, we believe that God wants entire regions evangelized, and that local, indigenous congregations connected as one regional church (parish) provide the flexibility to reach multiple people groups while remaining unified and steadfast in the faith.

Maybe that question should be restated as “Who should I begin with?”, because we believe that the “how” follows the “who”.  We believe thatcongregations are birthed in a person’s heart, and that anyone could be called to reach their neighbors with the Gospel through planting a local church.  Who has God placed on your heart?  What neighborhood, community, or township sparks your imagination for reaching the lost?  As you begin to bring these questions to God in prayer, he provides you with the tools to make the next step of faith. And we want to support you along the way.
