NewThing Team
I am Eric Metcalf, Director of NewThing. I'd like to invite YOU to join our NewThing Team - a team dedicated to reaching people who are far from God. We see this happening over and over again as we seek to catalyze a movement of reproducing churches. Churches that reach out to your neighbor, co-worker, friend, uncle, nephew, or daughter. By being a part of the NewThing Team you help multiply the generosity to reach, restore, and reproduce the Jesus Mission across the US and globally. Learn more about our vision and hear a story of someone who found their way back to God because of your generosity:
As a result of last year's Celebration Generosity, we:
- Started an average of 1 NEW church every 11 days!
- Launched multiple NewThing churches in Washington, D.C.; Kansas City, KS; Ventura, CA; Roselle, IL; Atlanta, GA; just to name a few.
- Provided residency for over 40 Leadership Residents at COMMUNITY and across our NewThing Churches.
- Invested in the training of our NewThing churches through our NewThing Gatherings held twice a year.
Here's what we want to do this next year:
- Double the number of church sites across NewThing to 200 - that's 200 churches and sites helping people find their way back to God by early 2013.
- Recruit and equip 75 Leadership Residents by Dec 2012. These are leaders who live and work right alongside us at COMMUNITY and other NewThing churches. We've found that a Leadership Residency is the best way to equip these leaders to start new, reproducing churches.
- Provide grants for Leadership Residents that will result in 100's of new church plants.
- Provide grants towards NewThing churches for more church plants.
- Invest in leadership training for NewThing churches through our website.
