Several Posts on Small Town Church Planting & Ministry…

by Luke Geraty | May 21, 2014 | Church Planting, Cross-Cultural Ministry, Cultural Engagement, Disciple Making, Evangelism, Leadership, Missional, Practical Theology, Small Town Church

Small Town ChurchHere’s a quick round up of some short articles I’ve written or contributed to in regards to small town rural church ministry:

  • Ministry Longevity in Small Towns – Bob Logan was kind enough to allow me to reflect on the importance of ministry longevity in small town USA. My basic point was that ministry in small towns often takes time and often people are starting to think about “moving on” too quickly.
  • Contextualizing Ministry for Small Towns – Again, Bob Logan (yes, the Bob Logan!) gave me a chance to briefly talk about the importance of contextualization in a small town (something I apparently have been talking a lot about, as you’ll see).
  • 5 Principles for Small Town Ministry – Here are some quick ways in which you can be more effective in a small town.
  • Postmodernism in Small Town USA – You might be surprised at how postmodernism is at work in Small Town USA. Or maybe you haven’t even thought about that… either way, check this one out.
  • Small Town Missiology: Contextualization & Outreach – The post that started it all… ha ha.

As you can see, I haven’t been completely lazy in the last month. Just somewhat…

    were all followed by interactive Q A sessions that contributed to the summit’s collaborative atmosphere. These events are called “summits” because the intent is that pastors and lay leaders not only come and listen and be ministered to, but they also participate and contribute with questions and ideas and prayer for one another. Interactive breakout sessions in the afternoon focused on how the gospel practically shapes ministry methods and mindsets in small places. Workshop topics included women’s discipleship, church planting, helping hurting people, the pastor as public theologian, and battling discouragement and discontentment in ministry, each with a view to application tailored to our small-town contexts.

Quotable Theology

God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation.

— John Calvin
