Charis and the Acts 29 Network

Charis has recently become a full partner with the Acts 29 Church Planting Network (A29).  A29 is a trans-denominational peer-to-peer network of missional church-planting churches.  A29 shares the vision and mission of Charis in that they hope to see gospel-centered, missional churches “litter” the landscape of the U.S. and the rest of the world. 

By gospel-centered, we mean the gospel of Jesus is THE central message of the Bible.  Therefore, the gospel is central to how we read and interpret the Bible and apply God’s truth to our lives and ministry. 

By missional, we mean that we believe that our mission is to bring people into the church so that they can be trained to go out into their culture as effective missionaries, being faithful both to the never-changing Gospel AND the ever-changing culture God has sent us into to reach with the gospel. 

Through our partnership with A29, we have found these primary benefits:

• Pastors for our pastor(s) to learn from and develop friendships with
• Churches that share our vision and values we can learn from and partner with in ministry
• Greater opportunities to fund/support/plant other gospel-centered, missional churches
