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).

• All C4SO clergy, leaders, parishioners or people interested in the life of the diocese are invited to attend our virtual Diocesan Convention on Saturday, November 13, from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm CT. The Convention is a vital part of engaging in communal leadership of our diocese. During this time, we will be celebrating our 2021 growth and progress, sharing our vision for 2022, hearing from key leaders, and voting on important topics. Get more info and register here.
