Planting an EFCA Church in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois
During our time in Deerfield, Kayla and I felt the Lord’s call to pursue church planting ministry. Upon encouragement from the EFCA denomination, we prayerfully considered planting a church in the Champaign-Urbana area. Currently our denomination has no churches in Champaign-Urbana. Before moving to Deerfield, we worked with college students with the para-church organization, Cru. We look forward to investing in both the community and the university as we look towards sharing the gospel with others in Champaign.
Three ways that you can be part of our ministry to plant a new church.
1) Prayer - We need individuals to commit to praying for us regularly. Sign up for our monthly newsletter for specific ways to pray for us!
2) Financial Partnership - We need individuals who are passionate about our ministry to partner with us financially on a monthly basis. Donations are through the EFCA Great Lakes District and are tax deductible.
3) Connections - If you know of anyone in the Champaign-Urbana area or anyone who is passionate about reaching the area, please connect us with them. You can email me at joshualoomis94@gmail.com!
