What it's Like to Plant a Church: The Very Beginning

We are hosting a mini-series on church planting in C4SO. In this episode, we discuss the realities of the “pre-launch” phase of church planting, before any kind of public gathering. Our guests are the Travis Lowe, planting Trinity Anglican Church with his wife Mickey in Tampa, Florida, and James and Happy Madden, planting St. Luke Medical District in Dallas, Texas.

To find out more about the Lowes and Trinity Anglican Church in Tampa, check out the Lowes’ website and Trinity”s Instagram feed.

To find out more about the Maddens and St. Luke Medical District, check out their Instagram feed.

You can donate to either church plant through C4SO’s donation page (select the appropriate church plant from the drop down list).
