Pictured above, the Rev. Rachel Gillmore, pastor of “The Gathering” new faith community start of Courthouse Community UMC in Virginia Beach, asks a question during Basic Training “Boot Camp” for Church Planters.
Sixty people from around the nation participated in the three-day conference held Aug. 24-26 at the Virginia United Methodist Center in Glen Allen. Thirty-one were new church planters from the Virginia Conference; others were from Greater New Jersey, New England, West Ohio, Holston, Florida, Peninsula-Delaware, Eastern Pennsylvania, Michigan, Mississippi and Western North Carolina conferences.
This training is specifically designed for pastors who are planting new churches in 2010 or for those who recently have planted a new church.
