As the population in Florida continues to explode, the need for healthy churches also continues to grow. The need for new churches will not be met by one church or one organization. We will only begin to meet the need when churches across Florida partner together.
Florida Church Planters wants to be a catalyst for helping churches join together to plant churches throughout the state. Our Director, Jeff Swearingen, has been gathering church leaders for lunch and conversations about what it would look like for them to work together in their region.
“It has been encouraging to see these leaders hanging out together and dreaming about church planting in their part of the state.” Swearingen shared. So far we have had the opportunity to bring together leaders in Jacksonville, Osceola County (pictured above), Brevard, Southwest Florida, the Eustis area, the Ocala area, and others. We are praying that several church plants will become a reality in these regions because of these partnerships.
FCP would love to come alongside leaders in other areas of the state. If you would be interested in gathering the leaders in your area, we encourage you to email Jeff and start a conversation about your area.
The need is far too great for FCP to do this alone. We will be so much better together.
