Episode 73: Trajectory of EPC church planting with Jack Cathey and Tom Ricks

Dean Weaver, EPC Stated Clerk, welcomes Jack Cathey and Tom Ricks, founding members of the EPC’s National Church Planting Team. Cathey is a Ruling Elder for the Lake Forest family of churches in Charlotte, North Carolina; Ricks serves as the EPC’s National Director of Church Planting.

The three kick off a series on church planting by recounting how church planting in the EPC has gone from being aspirational to operational. They also discuss steps churches can take to get involved in starting new churches, and how relationships are the key to successful church planting.
