Church Planting

I thought I'd try to answer some questions that folks might have about the future plans we have for church planting.

Why Escondido? We are confident that God has called us to California and to Escondido in particular. James a.k.a Pink is from Escondido and has a number of connections in the area. Many of them have no church home of their own and some are very far from God. Tammy and I have had specific confirmation that this is the right move and I would love to share that story one on one if you would care to ask me in person. Escondido is a great city and God has laid a burden on our hearts to be a part of that community and to love on people there.

Are you planting a Friends church? No.

What will the church be about? The Branches at Escondido will have the same kind of mission as The Branches at Farmland; seeing lives changed through faith in Jesus Christ. We want people to COME as they are - HEAR the word of God - DO what the word says - and TELL others how awesome He is.

When? I'm not sure. James and Tonya would like to wait until their kids are out of school. Tammy and I need to sell our home, and we want to be able to move out around the same time as the Pinkerton's.

If you have other questions that I didn't address, please leave a comment or catch me in person. We would appreciate your prayers that God would direct our steps and the steps of The Branches at Farmland Friends Church as we navigate the coming days so that we will see lives changed for the glory of God.
