New Churches
What Will These New Churches Look Like?
The goal is to introduce missional churches, which are outwardly focused, into the tri-state region. They will be:
- An agent for bringing people to Christ
- Community involved & outreach minded
- Culturally relevant
- Enjoying vibrant worship
- Action-oriented
- Committed to planting other churches
Why Rome Twp./Proctorville OH Community First?
- Rome Township is growing. From 1990 to 2000 there was nearly a 16% gain in new people for that community. That compares with only an .08% gain for the county as a whole.
- More importantly, however, is the statistic that over 75% of that population is “unclaimed” by any specific church. Many of these individuals are lost and need to be introduced to Jesus Christ.
Combine these two facts with Jesus’ proclamation that “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few” (Luke 10:2) and you cannot help but see the potential for a great mission work.
Where Will These New Churches Be Planted?
We are open to God’s leading on locations and believe these communities are ideal for new independent Christian churches:
- Rome Township/Proctorville, OH
- Huntington, WV
- Teays Valley/Putnam Co., WV
- Mason Co., WV
It is our belief that the Rome Twp./Proctorville OH community is ideal for the first church plant by NCK Ministries.
