Western PA District
of the Wesleyan Church
To Equip & Empower
Mission: The Western Pennsylvania District exists to
equip pastoral leadership and empower local Wesleyan
Churches to fulfill the Great Commission in the spirit of
the Great Commandment by multiplying believers,
leaders, and churches.
Vision: It is our vision to partner with local churches to
create a missional multiplication movement by 2010.
“It's not important who does the planting, or who does the
watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow.
The one who plants and the one who waters work together
with the same purpose.
And both will be rewarded
for their own hard work.”
1 Corinthians 3:7-8 [NLT]
Church Multiplication Task Force
[CMTF]
WHAT is Church Planting?
“Church planting” means partnering together to start new
local fellowships in passionate pursuit of those who don’t
know Jesus as we seek to multiply believers, leaders, and
churches.
WHO is doing it?
The short answer is…we all are! Each of us has a vital role
to play in the church multiplication process. Every one of
us can take part in the “5 P’s” of church planting:
promotion, public affirmation, prayer, provision, and
permission—contact us to find out more
CMTF Core Values:
- Conversion/baptism growth is our ultimate
objective.
- The purpose of church health is to become a
missional force resulting in the multiplication
of believers, leaders and churches;
- Every believer, every leader, and every
church is capable of participating in the
multiplication movement;
- Ministry happens in partnership with
churches.
By strategically identifying locations, people, and resources for the development of new churches, the WPA District will become a Missional Multiplication Movement. As such, we will use our “Core Scores” to measure our success.
