The One Thing

411 Launch teams: the spiritual boot camp no one talks about (Carla and Corey Matthews)


Listen Later

Carla and Corey Matthews have been part of two church plant launch teams — not as planters or staff, but as everyday church members offering time, energy, and faith. 

In this episode, they share:

  • Why they said yes (twice!) to joining a launch team
  • How it shaped their spiritual lives
  • What it’s really like to serve on a team from day one
  • The costs and sacrifices of leaving a comfortable church
  • And why church plants need more than just planters


Whether you're curious about church planting or wondering how God might use you, this honest conversation is for you.

Carla and Corey helped launch Cornerstone Anglican Church Box Hill, Sydney and Rouse Hill Anglican Church, Sydney.
