Church Development in the Pacific Northwest

JOHN KIMBALL, DIRECTOR OF CHURCH DEVELOPMENT

The CCCC Church Development team recently held a training event in the Pacific Northwest led by John Kimball and Rich Cook. The event, focusing on church leader development, was hosted by Community Congregational Church in beautiful Thompson Falls, Montana. Attending were representatives from three of our churches in the Northwest Region.

It was exciting to see how many new, young couples took part – a sign of great kingdom life and ministry. The interaction was phenomenal – especially the discussion around the purpose of local church leadership.

Pastor Matt Schraeder of the Thompson Falls congregation noted,

“This was God’s perfect timing for us. We’re excited about where this is going. We now have both people who’ve joined us in the last year and people who’ve been with us on this two-year Church Development journey who are really invested in this work.”

The two-day event laid an important foundation for the ongoing Church Development work in Thompson Falls, as well as in Spokane and Garfield, Washington. We have great anticipation for what God will do through these churches as they continue to retool and expand their vision to establish Jesus’ kingdom in their respective areas.
