Greater Boston Church Planting Collaborative
Churches planting churches which plant churches . . .
Church planting is critical to the future of Christianity in Boston and the world. The Greater Boston Church Planting Collaborative (GBCPC) serves individuals from denominational organizations, mission groups, and churches which are dedicated to establishing new and newly recontextualized churches that will thrive in Greater Boston. These churches will, in turn, establish daughter churches at home and overseas.
Sequential church planting, by God's grace, can multiply the number of Christian converts exponentially. People from all over the world are in churches in cities across America, including Boston. These churches, therefore, are positioned to reproduce themselves all over the world. With planning and perseverance, churches in Boston can plant daughter churches overseas as well as at home, and multiply themselves over and over again. This exponential expansion of the Christian faith is an urgent goal of the Church's missionary strategy.

- partnering & sharing resources
