And So it Begins Today I received an official endorsement from CBF Global Missions as a church-planter in Atlanta, GA. I submitted a 15 page proposal to CBF a few weeks ago. Here is what I wrote on the first page:"I have a vision of a church. That church is called “trinitas.” It is a missional, organic, holistic, eclectic Christian community that seeks to love God, bless the world and make disciples. To that end, we will be committed to presenting the gospel to the whole community, including the poor and oppressed, following Jesus’ mode of kingdom proclamation. We will create and sustain a thriving refuge for the unchurched and over-churched people in Atlanta to experience God in profound and creative ways. I want to establish a space where the uncertain and confused can comfortably ask honest questions. I want to provide a setting where people can freely worship God with their artistic and expressive gifts. I want to provide an opportunity for individuals to live missionally in community; ensuring that social and ethical justice is valued. To this end, I am seeking the support of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship." Over the next months and years I look forward to sharing trinitas' story with you all. I am also excited about the friendship that has developed thanks to the generosity of The Well as well as the support of her pastors: Brad, Todd and Phil. I covet your prayers. Peace. posted by Jake at 7/05/2005 04:52:00 PM

Amazing Jake. You're really doin' it. Consider yourself prayed for.
Jake,
God's blessings on this next step in your journey, my friend.
Congrats, Jake. God bless you and your wife as you pursue your (collective) calling.
Soon Atlanta will be known as the center of the emerging church, as it was once known for coca-cola.
Stay connected to us here in NYC. My mom lives outside Atlanta, so maybe I can visit from time to time.
Since I am from ATL, it is good to know churches are being planted there, BUT this sounds like a great vision for a church plant in the Boston area. Would anyone be interested in joining me in starting a church here? I wonder if the CBF would offer support.
that's the best news I've heard all day!!! you da man!
Jake, this is wonderful! I am not far away so if I can help please let me know. Blessings on you and Abby as your journey continues.
