Church Planting in Converge Heartland

Converge  Heartland District

 

The mission of Converge Heartland is to expand the Kingdom of God by developing healthy churches that partner together in reproducing disciples, leaders and churches.

Church planting teams with the churches in the district to reproduce gospel centered, missional focused, kingdom minded churches that multiply.

Converge Heartland is comprised of 4 states, ND, SD, NE and KS.    In each of the four states, the majority of the population lives adjacent to either I-29, which runs north and south through all four states, or one of the east west interstates in each state.   Our goal is to plant healthy churches in the higher populated areas working outward until every community has the opportunity to hear the Gospel message near them.

Ignite 2010-2015 is a major church planting initiative in which we have joined Converge USA.  Every church is asked to pray specifically for church planting in their area and beyond.  We are also asking that each church prayerfully consider committing to one of four options between 2010 and 2015.

Option 1: By FAITH, our church will IGNITE a new church through PARENTING a new congregation.

Option 2: By FAITH, our church will IGNITE a new CAMPUS church in our city or area (multi-site).

Option 3: By FAITH, our church will IGNITE a Church PLANTING NETWORK to plant three or more churches.

Option 4: By FAITH, our church will IGNITE a CHURCH MULTIPLICATION center by planting five or more churches or campus churches.

The Table             
Kearney, NE
Pastor Tyler Wilterding

The Table:  We chose to name this new church "The Table" becauae we think a church's name should reflect its mission.  As we think about our mission in Kearney, we feel that the image of a table illustrates exactl what we are called to do.  The four chairs around the table represent the four parts of our mission, Seeking, Connecting, Discovering & Serving.

2 Pillars Church            Bumgarner
Lincoln, NE
Pastor Todd Bumgarner

“Since August of 2006, God has been cranking on my heart.  He has called me out of a comfortable lifestyle and placed a holy discontent deep inside of me” states Todd.  “God has called me to Lincoln and has embedded a deep love for this city in my soul.  The best way I can describe it is an inner compulsion calling for action, coming from a God-implanted desire, which burns so strongly inside of me that it cannot be ignored.  The mission of 2 Pillars Church is to reach the un-reached for Christ and transform the city of Lincoln by loving God and loving people.”
