Exponential Conference

I am currently at the Exponential Conference in Orlando, FL. I am part of a 3-church team (Westwind, Cornerstone of Ames, Cornerstone of Iowa City) that will hopefully glean what we can, but also create the way to plant more impact churches in Iowa. One of the most interesting facts about churches starting out is that the ones that make planting a church a priority to their future usually grow and become more healthy quicker. Westwind is interested in church planting even though we are just 21 months old.

So, this week, I hope to create a rough plan on how Westwind will plant a church in the no-so-distant future. I think that in doing so, we will create in our people a sense of urgency to 1) ignite a passion for the lost in their environments and 2) use their times, gifts and talents to help expand the message of Christ. My plan is to post some notes and thoughts throughout the conference. If you are someone who wants to plant a church, let me know and I will be sure to send you all my notes.
