Small Towns Initiative
Sovereign Grace Churches is committed to planting, adopting and supporting local, gospel-centered churches. Not only are Sovereign Grace churches found in urban centers, Sovereign Grace churches have been planted and adopted in rural areas as well!
Whether churches are located in large city centers, such as Orange County, California or are located in rural areas of the U.S. and abroad, Sovereign Grace wants to see churches and their pastors thrive.
To that end, the Small-Towns Initiative was formed specifically with small town churches in view. The purposes of the Small-Towns Initiative are three-fold:
1) To provide care and support for Sovereign Grace small town pastors.
2) To provide help and support for Sovereign Grace small town church plant.
3) To reach out beyond Sovereign Grace to build relationally with other rural pastors for encouragement, networking, and even potential adoption into SovereignGrace Churches.
Over the past couple of years, several rural Sovereign Grace pastors around the country have connected periodically via zoom and made themselves available as a resource for other small town pastors.
At this year’s Pastors Conference there will be a Small-Towns Initiative Pastor’s Gathering on Wednesday afternoon from 2:00 – 3:00 pm. This meet-and-greet is for all pastors in small towns as well as those interested in rural/small town ministry. If you minister in a small town, we’d love to see you there.
What a joy to serve the Lord who is building His church and what a privilege we have to plant and build gospel-centered churches not only in cities, but in towns and villages all over the world!
