What is a New Church, anyway?

St. Matthews UMC youth group!

We are not trying to create “mini-me’s”!

Sometimes a new faith community will look very different from an established congregation. Here are some characteristics we utilize in distinguishing a new faith community from an outreach ministry or multiple services:

characteristics we utilize in distinguishing a new faith community from an outreach ministry or multiple services: Includes regular community worship Has an intentional and effective discipleship system. Their implied or stated mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ.

Characteristics, cont. Meets off-site. Exception would be a “church within a church” or a service that is meeting a very different demographic and engages in a separate discipleship system than the host congregation. Does community outreach

Characteristics, Cont. Provides an opportunity for regular giving and has a systematic accountability to their funds and budget Has an established leadership and administrative order.

Characteristics, cont. While a new church may not receive members, a new church has an identified list of people who “belong” and see this gathering as their faith community. Has a defined strategy to plant a new community of faith community in its near future.
