:: AIP#28 - Who's Helping Start The City? ::

I just realized that while I've mentioned that we're learning from several churches and authors as we plant The City Church, I haven't posted yet is the list of amazing churches and organizations who are helping us get off the ground with prayer, funding, training, personal involvement, and more. We're not out here on our own; in fact, we're ecstatic and honored to be in ongoing discussion with the following partners, who are involved in some way with planting The City Church:

The Village Church (Flower Mound, TX) - the "Texas flagship" church for Acts 29 Network, The Village is providing great resources for us, and we're in conversation to know exactly what further partnership looks like with them.

Acts 29 Network (Seattle, WA) - A network of 200+ pastors across the US, Acts 29 is committed to planting biblical, missional churches in strategic cities around the world. Acts 29 assessed and approved us as planters, and is providing coaching support.

Providence Church (Frisco, TX) - As pastor in a four-year-old church plant, Barry Keldie was part of our Acts 29 assessment team. Providence will provide funding and some of the directional oversight of The City as we develop elders/leaders.

Northwood Church (Keller, TX) - NorthWood Church’s GlocalNet missions ministry has planted over 100 churches around the world in the past 15 years. NorthWood is partnering with us by providing coaching, funding and church planting relationships.

Vision360 (Orlando, FL) - A multi-denominational church planting hub, Vision360 DFW is providing support, specifically by connecting us with local Christian business leaders, churches, and organizations who will also come alongside our efforts.

The Baptist General Convention (Dallas, TX) - While we are not a "Baptist Church," our relationship with local and statewide associations brings coaching, resources, funding, and tuition breaks for folks who attend Baptist schools.

Apartment Life (Hurst, TX) - This great organization encourages people to live on mission in apartment complexes, by helping cover their rent as they do so. Perfectly fitting our vision, they're finding strategic complexes in and near downtown for our people to live.

In a "less-formal" way, we are receiving coaching, funding, resources, prayer, and encouragement from several other churches and organizations, including The Austin Stone, Trinity Bible Church, Christ Chapel, The Rooted Church, Fellowship Dallas, Intentional Gatherings Inc., CrossPointe Community Church, other individual Acts 29 pastors and churches, and more.

Finally, quite possibly our greatest partnership as we start a new church is YOU! While we are indescribably grateful for these organizations, The City Church won’t take shape without strong commitment from incredible individuals like you! Several folks have already committed prayer, involvement, and personal funding; we're honored to have you on board as we work together for the glory of God and the good of Fort Worth!
