From New York, grew up Catholic. Parents were not saved. Dad spent 10 years in jail. Got saved and came to VFCC. Graduated in ’84. Father was saved and called to pioneer a church at 50 yrs. old. He met wife at VFCC. Pastored in Pittsfield. Was in upstate New York for 12 years. Worked at a church in Florida for 8 years. Transitioned the church from “revival mode” to “discipleship mode”. He resigned and ended up planting a church in Downingtown.
What kinds of techniques do you plan on carrying to your new church from the church in Florida?
Discipleship will be the same. Found that when you get in to making things, get too detailed. Going to tailor phase 1 but keep most of it. Community service will be paramount. Started Teacher’s Helper where they brought lunch to the teachers in the school district. Going to do that at the school in Downingtown. Will identify a need in the community and fill it. Big influence in the school district.
