The Anglican 1000 Church Planting Summit: Save the Date — Feb 22-23, 2010

December 4th, 2009

It was a hot summer evening in June at Christ Church in Plano, TX. The new Archbishop of the ACNA, Bob Duncan, freshly ‘instituted’ in rich Anglican fare, made an astonishing call. He called for the planting and the raising up of 1000 churches during his ministry!

That fired up the congregation. They erupted in applause and cheers. But for the new archbishop this was no mere applause line. He meant it.

Soon after, the Archbishop brought together a group of leaders from the US and Canada who began to dream about a cooperative movement to plant churches and raise up new congregations across the continent of North America. Planters and congregations would form a movement from every Anglican jurisdiction and within all ‘three streams’ of the Anglican Church in North America.

Here is our Proclamation.

Now, people are catching the vision and working together for that end. Everyone from here is involved…and if you are a church planter…or think you could be, you are the kind of person we are looking for.

On Feb 22-23, at Christ Church, Plano, the Leadership Team for the Anglican 1000 Movement will host a church planters summit. Beginning on Monday February 22 at 10:00 am and ending with a closing service on Tuesday night, church planters, students, young church leaders, bishops, and committed laity from around the continent will gather together for intensive learning and networking sessions.

We will share best practices, learn from some of the top leadership in the church planting movement, and hear real church planters tell their story from the frontiers of the mission field. And, this significant effort to plant churches and raise up congregations in the US and Canada will take a giant leap forward.

Our speakers include:

Archbishop Bob Duncan
Ed Stetzer
Bishop Todd Hunter
William Beasley
Bishop Doc Loomis
David Roseberry

In addition, you will meet and hear from many other Anglican church planters who are actually doing the work!

More information including available housing, hotels, registration costs and options will follow…but for now:
