Started in an open air cow arena. Now in new facilities debt-free, with about 150 in attendance.  He is a grad of SEBTS. Started as a PRAXIS student in this area and came back to plant the church. It had been 30 years since this association last planted a new church. Praise God this went well, and now they are starting other new works!

Planted about 9 years ago as a team.  Has grown to over 300 and helped the Florida Baptist Convention plant at least 3 other churches -- one a Gen. X.  Willow Creek-model. He is so seeker focused that Willow Creek uses him in the conferences as a teacher.

This work has been in existence for several years, but is ministry-based and has a vision to plant other ethnic congregations out of their church using their own facilities.  They already have a successful Hispanic work with the church planter.

Relation-based Church Planting

…is relatively new and attempts to solve the riddle of reaching and congregationalizing postmoderns. Relation-based churches are nothing more than networks of single cell churches. These churches are fluid and spread along relational lines through people networks.

This church planter is over 60 (62).  Resigned his solid church in South Carolina to plant his first church.  Very relational.  Meeting in a funeral home. Has bought land and drawn plans for first bldg. Bill did all of the right stuff. He even used the Jesus video and gave them out to over 1000 homes in this 8000 home community. He launched with 71 in attendance. Now he runs over 180 in worship. Bill says that this launch has been his greatest work for the Lord.
