Holiness Pioneers Method
Our methods are simple: follow God’s Word for church workers, and fulfill those positions in a church planting structure.
God gave us a clear plan for a successful body of believers: Ephesians 4:11-16. “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”
We often find many of the Ephesians 4:11 offices fulfilled to some degree in our larger churches, but what about when planting churches? Most of the positions above are clearly needed in the local church and are needed to make a church-plant successful. It is true that each local church does not necessarily have a prophet or an apostle, many of their intricate duties are however broken down and used today in various types of ministry workers and people don’t even realize it. The duties of the Apostle and Prophet in today’s society have been morphed into various ministry methods. Every local congregation should however have at least a pastor, evangelist, and teacher within the local congregation and often these positions can be split into additional positions to be even more effective.
One of these offices is an evangelist, which in many Christian circles have been viewed for years as someone who travels around holding revival meetings. While revival services are a very needful part of our churches’ special services each year, there are many other necessary ways to fulfill the work of an evangelist. We must evangelize the lost souls outside of our churches and work to truly disciple them. This is crucial when doing church planting. Scriptural church planting has been an outflow of evangelism from the very beginning, not from a shepherding position. Holiness Pioneers’ church planting will start with a primary focus of evangelism and discipling newly saved people then leading them on into Entire Sanctification.
Will you join us on this exciting Journey? As God leads we desire to plant Holiness Church in states that have none and in places there are none. Each church plant will be made up of: Minister of Outreach (Evangelist), Pastor (A true Shepherd), Minister of Music & Singing, Teacher(s), and Children Workers (Child Evangelist). We have a detailed breakdown of each position on our personnel page at team.evangelismmission.com.
