Help Wanted


We need your help. This whole thing is getting bigger by the moment.

Our vision is to plant 8 churches in the next ten years.

Our twenty year vision is to plant 100 total churches, domestic and abroad.

Can we do it? No.

Can God do it? Apparently.



I just read this morning about God giving a baby boy and then an entire nation of descendents to a couple in their 90s. "Impossible!" Sarah laughed.


Nothing is impossible with God.


But to do it, we need your help. As a new friend asked me yesterday what we needed, I came up with this preliminary list…

  • Start up funds-
    $42k would purchase a trailer full of everything from sound equipment to toys for kids classrooms to signage- this will enable the church to be mobile.
    $6k would pay for the 8-10 backyard parties we will host this summer to generate contacts and interest.
  • Advertising-
    We are looking to market our launch date (Sept 13) in multiple ways. We need yard signs, vehicle decals, newspaper articles, pens, web advertisement and personal connection cards (and connection with a good printer/advertiser)
  • Launch Team people-
    We need people to commit to TPC for 6,12, or 18 months as short term missionaries to serve in one of the following areas:
    -Financial Team
    -Facility Team
    -Children's Ministry
    -Love God team (outreach, Sunday morning, marketing)
    -Grow Together Team (small groups)
    -Serve Others (community service)
  • Regular financial gifts-
    We are looking for organizations and individuals to partner with us to the tune of $8,000 a month for the first 24 months of the church's life.
  • Facility-
    We need a place to rent this fall that can hold a service for several hundred people and have some space for kids' classes. We'd like the spot to be somewhere on this side of town- the Dupont, Lima, Tonkel area.

I will post soon about our first service, June 14.


If you live in the Fort Wayne area and sense God is calling you to play a part in one of the ways I list above (or any other way), please email me at Patrick@triplepointechurch.com
