New Church Planting, Day 1 Training
A lot of folks have been asking Hilda and I, "so what are your plans now?" Well, Hilda and I will be moving to Central Florida soon. By the grace of God, we will be planting a new church there! For a long time now, I've felt a strong desire to begin a bilingual ministry that intentionally targets Hispanic/Latino(a) born in the United States (2nd, 3rd, 4th, and beyond generations). These are people just like me (I am a Nuyorican) looking for a place to worship and find a Christian community where they feel whole. (There is certainly a lot of theological and social importance with this kind of ministry.)
So, as a result, Hilda and I will be at a week long New Church Planter Training Event. I'm going to be blogging each day to help me reflect on this new beginning in my life.
Today is Day 1, and guess what...Casa del Alfarero, the new church plant that I attend in Indianapolis, will be leading worship tonight at the opening worship. This is pretty cool, especially since I'll be drumming tonight. Drumming soothes my soul. I love it!
I'm not necessarily nervous about this training event or even beginning this new ministry, but I do have questions that I hope get answered this week. Thankfully, New Church Ministry has been a part of my entire seminary journey, from taking a course on it in Memphis, TN, and even with being a student Pastor at a new church plant.
So with that said, I'll write some more on Day 2 of training.
