A Celebration of Service

On September 1, 2011, the Church Starting Team had the privilege of honoring two great women of missions for their faithful service to the Texas Baptists Missions Funding Group committee. Mrs. Anna Marie Edgemon and Mrs. Betty Jo Craig began their time of service in January 2006 and fulfilled their commitments in September 2011.

During this time, they played a fundamental role in creating the New Church Starting process. We are grateful for their contribution to Church Starting and we recognize their love for missions.

BGCT Church Starting

The BGCT Church Starting Experience involves many people–not just BGCT staff and Executive Board members, Church Planters, core groups and Church Planting Partners, but ultimately the unchurched people in every part of the state. It is the prayer of all those people that this process will encourage, facilitate and connect churches in their work to fulfill God’s mission of reconciling the world to Himself; and we know that when all parties have a clear, strong, common vision, the results are new churches that can grow, reproduce and replenish mission funds.
