We are delighted to help launch a new church planting network that will focus (initially) on planting new churches throughout North America. The PLNTD network is committed to seeing gospel-saturated churches started by linking arms with church planters, pastors, churches and other networks who share common confessional, Baptist and missional commitments.
We have been involved in ministering with the families of migrant farm workers in Southwest Florida as well as communities that have been ravaged by hurricanes along the Gulf Coast. Grace has enjoyed an ongoing relationship with Lakeshore Baptist Church in Waveland, Mississippi in their efforts to Rebuild Lakeshore.
The family of Grace is also involved in supporting Lifeline, a home for unwed mothers and the Lee Women's Center for crisis pregnancies.
The greatest need of the church in North America is reformation and revival. The simple Gospel of God's grace has been too often assumed and can no longer be taken for granted. For Christ to receive the honor that He is due, it must be recovered and restored to the place of preeminence in the church. Grace is committed to working and praying for just such a fresh movement of God's Spirit across our nation. We gladly support Founders Ministries in their commitment to this cause and we are encouraged by what God has begun to do in reviving His work among churches over the last several years.

When Jesus asked the question, "Who do you say that I am?" He was asking a question that we all have to answer. As Christians, we have one message to believe and one message to tell--the gospel of Jesus Christ. What God has accomplished for sinners through His Son Jesus Christ in His life, death, and resurrection is not only central to who we are but sufficient for all that we do. If you have never heard of this gospel, we encourage you to consider the two ways to live. In this presentation, you will understand who God is, what He has done, and why it is absolutely necessary for you to turn to Jesus and trust in Him.
When you come to one of our meetings expect to be greeted and welcomed by people just like you.

PLNTD is a decentralized network focused on establishing and multiplying confessional church-planting churches. We seek to do this through providing rich resources, intentional relationships, and accessible church-based ministries, including assessment, training and coaching. It is our firm conviction that to fulfill the Great Commission inherently means that we must embrace the call to plant churches, and no one else is given that stewardship more than the local church.
Founders Ministries serves the cause of Christ by encouraging the recovery of the gospel and the reformation of local churches. The offices of Founders Ministries are housed at Grace Baptist Church. Tom Ascol is the Executive Director and Ken Puls is the Director of the Founders Study Center.
