"Healthy churches reproduce ..."

Having a child is challenging and rewarding. We know that healthy churches reproduce and we are constantly looking for churches who are ready to “get pregnant” and give birth to a daughter church.

First Christian Church in Morris has decided to have a daughter in 2004. Chuck Richardson, senior minister at Morris, writes about the parenting process: “Just like young parents, we are excited and scared at the same time. There will be a mixture of pain and joy with this new birth, but the end result will be worth it all. We are happy and excited that the birth is finally imminent and not just a future dream.”

This method of starting new churches is one CDEA is committed to practicing. Where might God be leading your church? E-mail Lance Hurley at lhurley@cdea.org to find out more about becoming a parent church.
