Developing New Churches
Church Planting, or developing new churches, has always been
at the heart of Mission Mid-Atlantic. We seek to regularly plant and develop new local
churches of like identity and purpose. We have found the best way to
do this is through the discovery, development, and deployment of
church planters - ideally through a sponsoring or sending church. Churches planting churches
assures that emotional interest, prayer support, and the sense of belonging remain high between
the planting church and the fledgling planted church. For more details and resources for Church Planting
with Mission Mid-Atlantic, please click here to visit our
Church Planting page.

Lifestyle Stewardship Ministries
The image of the biblical steward has fallen on hard times in modern American society. The word and concept
are often reduced to money and giving. The modern words - “caretaker,” “manager,” “custodian,” “ambassador,”
“agent” and “guardian” - simply fail to deliver the full meaning of the biblical word “steward.” Stewardship, at the
core, is not sharing our money with others; it is sharing the resources of another (God) with those who will make
good use of it.
Mission Mid-Atlantic is pleased to assist the local church in the development of biblical stewards through:
Live seminars teaching basic lifestyle stewardship principles that help individuals understand
how God has uniquely designed them and how they fit into the puzzle of life, as well as how financial stewardship
and estate planning fit into God's program.
Identifying and training coaches within local churches who will disciple individuals who desire a
biblical stewardship lifestyle.

Cultivating Church Leaders
Equipping pastors and other church leaders with tools and resources
allows them to pursue excellence in ministry under the sovereign hand of God. Mission Mid-Atlantic
is committed to seeing systematic transformation that leads to health, growth, the
making of new disciples and eventually congregational reproduction.
One way we will accomplish
this is through a strategy that includes the establishment of LEAD Teams.
LEAD Teams are designed to help pastors and other ministry leaders grow in their understanding of leadership and to develop
their effectiveness as leaders by providing:
mutual accountability
mutual support and encouragement
friendship and fellowship
and becoming the incubators for church planting
LEAD Teams will be forming in the Fall/Winter of 2010. For more information, contact our office at (856) 881-8990.
Assisting Pastors & Churches in Crisis
A crisis can sometimes overwhelm a pastor or a church. When invited, we come alongside
pastors and churches in crisis to help resolve conflict, solve problems, and restore
healthy relationships to the glory of God by:
Supporting church leadership by providing conflict coaching or mediation in conflict situations.
Facilitating ongoing education on peacemaking through training events.
Networking with other like-minded churches to encourage and support one another in promoting and practicing Biblical peacemaking.
Whether your church is facing a crisis situation or you simply need help navigating sensitive waters, Mission Mid-Atlantic can help you to the other side.
Please call our office at (856) 881-8990, and we will connect you with one of our trained consultants.
