One of the ways in which we seek to carry out the great commission is through the important work of church planting.
Our Presbytery’s home missions committee partners with the General Assembly’s Committee on Home Missions and Church Extension (CHMCE) to plant new churches. Please continue reading to learn more about the CHMCE.
