 “…[Paul] planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.” 1 Cor. 3:6
Planting is a term taken from the Bible to describe multiplying God’s kingdom. Building a new church from the ground up is an exciting prospect! A Plant’s leader is called by God to minister, serve and teach about Jesus Christ in a community. A new church community is nourished and nurtured like a fresh young seedling – so it is easy to see the “plant” imagery.
With great anticipation, the Diocese of Delaware supports the growth of Good Shepherd Episcopal in Glasgow, Delaware. Good Shepherd is ready to expand God’s kingdom and has called the Rev. Jay Angerer as the Planter. Good Shepherd is the second effort in the last fifteen years for planting an Episcopal Community. The Diocese of Delaware is preparing to plant eight to ten more Episcopal Churches in Delaware over the next fifteen to twenty years!
Planting is invigorating, interesting and full of blessings! Please contact the Father Jay to explore your gifts in this area. You can be God’s kingdom expander, too! |
