Abstract

The objective of this project was to design and implement a new model of church planting that required the involvement and participation of twelve sponsoring congregations from a particular district within the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church. The author led a process of engagement with four churches to support the new church with their gifts, four with their presence and prayer, and four with their service and witness. While conducting a series of meetings with clergy and denominational leaders, the idea of building a collaborative network of United Methodist Churches that can be the foundation and support of a new church wasn't totally possible. However, the pastor and his supervisors found a way to continue to further the vision of a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural church utilizing some principles from the church in Antioch despite the brokenness of the United Methodist connectional system.
