Strengthening Local Churches

Sovereign Grace Churches exists to plant and strengthen churches for the glory of God. Recently on the Mark Prater Podcast, Ben Kreps and Mark Prater talked about how the Leadership Team is working on a tool to help strengthen churches.

…the strength of our mission really does come from the strength of our churches. To say it another way, I think strong local churches plant other strong local churches. And strong local churches participate in global missions in really gospel changing ways. And that begins with the eldership of a local church. And the strength and health of a local church is truly the reflection of the strength and health of the eldership team that leads that local church.
