This Sunday is Church Planting Sunday at Second. Once a year we celebrate our Foundations for the Future offering. This year we are interviewing nine of our church planters on Sunday night. I am going to focus my attention on three apiece in my blog for the next three days. By the way, after the interview, the all-church fellowship menu is Italian. Huzzah.
Lane Harrison will be our Sunday morning speaker for this year's Foundations For The Future celebration. Lane, our previous Minister of Singles at Second, planted Lifepoint Church in Ozark in 2004. Lane has developed his own church planting network. He is training church planters and helping multiply churches as much as anyone else in southwest Missouri. He will also be here for the interview time Sunday night.
Our Campus Chinese Baptist Church will celebrate its fifth anniversary on October 10. Pastor Wenping Qiu preaches to about 50 on Sunday mornings; they have a regular Friday night activity to try to reach the 800+ Chinese speaking students at MSU. Over 150 students, friends, and family have professed faith in Christ since the church began. Dr. Wenping will be one of the ones interviewed Sunday night.
The Edge Outdoorsmen Church (2012) averages 30 people in worship services, and meets in a specially built room addition at Pastor Dan Caldwell's home. The Edge is reaching families who don't feel comfortable in a traditional church. They are merging with Pythian Avenue Church, and will soon move to that location. Dan will be with us Sunday night.
