Foundations of Church Planting Home Mission Board Seminar
April 27 and 28, 2012
Foundations of Church Planting is a seminar presented by the Home Mission Board. The goal is to consider the unique challenges of church planting in the context of the RPCNA and to provide basic training for those interested in the work of church planting. The conference has in mind especially those preparing for ministry in a church plant or those currently ministering in a new work, but it will be open to any who wish to attend.
The seminar will be led by three different pastors who, by God’s grace, have practical experience in the field of church planting. Dave Long pastors the Lafayette, IN RPC which has overseen the daughtering of two congregations. Harry Metzger planted the Westminster RPC near Chicago and now pastors North Hills RPC which daughtered Grace RPC in Gibsonia, PA. Bruce Parnell planted the Stillwater, OK RPC which in turn has daughtered the Enid, OK congregation.
The seminar will cover a selection of foundational subjects from the conviction and perspective of Reformed theology and distinctives of the RPCNA. For a list of the topics, see our Facebook page.
The seminar will be hosted by the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh, PA. Supper will be provided Friday evening along with lunch on Saturday between the morning and afternoon sessions. The cost of the meals is built into your conference registration ($25).

This congregation was established in December of 2009 and God has raised up a wonderful group of ruling elders to help shepherd the flock. Now they are praying that God would raise up a pastor. Please uphold this congregation in prayer and pray for the recently appointed committee tasked by Presbytery to help this congregation in the process of seeking a pastor.
