Key Questions:

Have you been sent to do this, or is this your own hairbrained idea?
Re:Gen has asked us to develop this 10-year project, gather and train leaders for it, and see it come to fruition right here in North San Diego County.

This is also not a new idea. There are many churches around the nation and world who are accomplishing a similar vision. God is moving in this way right now, and he has given us a vision and plan for it. Now, we continue to search and pray for the people and resources to move forward.

 

Where will funding come from for this project?

We will find organizations & people God has called to give physical space and fund this project. Personal fundraising & grant requests will be important to the work of this project. 10% of all given in these new churches will be designated to planting.

 

Where will people come from to get involved?
We will send out teams of people from our planted congregations and draw people from our social circles, neighborhoods, workplaces, and other churches who desire to join in.
