The Church Starting Network is an association that
strives to join with other Christians and Christian
groups to stimulate starting apostolic churches that
engage comprehensive evangelism among the peoples of
the world, contextual church starting, reproductive
church expansion, and healthy church growth and
life. By apostolic churches, CSN means congregations
and groups of churches that emphasize reaching those
outside the salvation of Jesus and His Kingdom and
the starting of congregations that will reproduce
rather than spending most of the church’s time and
resources on maintaining the structure of the
church. Apostolic churches resemble, in form and
practice, the churches of the New Testament era.
Church
Starting Network (CSN) seeks to contribute to
apostolic churches and church starting movements by
providing publications, materials, consultations,
and conferences to further efforts to shape and be
shaped by the emerging dialogue regarding church
multiplication and church health in the postmodern,
post Christian, multicultural environments of the
21st century world.
CSN invites
Christians and Christian groups to join in these
efforts to contribute to starting apostolic
congregations and emerging apostolic church starting
movements in North America and in other parts of the
world.
CSN seeks to
minister alongside any Evangelical Christian group
that upholds doctrinal orthodoxy, spiritual
dependence, and moral integrity. The independent
Network is not aligned with any denomination,
association, movement, or institution. |
