What if a church wishes to partner but feels it already has a strong calling towards specific church planting desires?
ELI feels that it is very important for its Partnered Churches to follow the specific calling God has placed on their hearts for church planting and spreading the gospel. This is exactly why we created ELI – to serve local churches so they can pursue their Church Planting Strategies today! ELI is simply one vehicle for pursuing those plans. We feel, however, that ELI is a very viable option for pursuing numerous types of church planting desires. Partner Churches also get the added benefit of doing church planting with a group of impassioned people and like-minded churches seeking to make a significant national impact. ELI is very focused on bringing together churches that are already strategizing about reproducing in order to reach greater numbers of America’s next generation. The result will be that these combined strategies will have a bigger impact than if everyone did it on their own and it will help “kick-start” a true church-planting movement.
