Our Process
When identifying potential cities, the following criteria are critically analyzed:
LOCATION
How influential is the geographic location?
PEOPLE
Is the church plant led by a capable, appropriately gifted leader that has a solid team?
PLAN
Does the church have an exciting and compelling vision and is the plan sufficiently detailed?
PHASE
At what stage is the church?
RESOURCES
Are they able to raise the money that we are not supplying?
EXECUTION
How they have executed against the plan so far?
Our Vision
The vision for Strategic Cities Foundation is to catalyze church planting ecosystems in highly influential cities across the world. We envision churches that are Kingdom-minded, desiring to see God’s rule come to bear in their city, the surrounding region, and even beyond. They are churches that are not inward-looking or defensive. They don’t try to build their own kingdom and have a posture of generosity.
Our Strategy
Part of the strategy includes developing the leaders of impact churches so that they expand their vision beyond their immediate cities to the region. This will lead to the next step which is seeing leaders developing the capacity to resource other leaders in their region. In other words, they repeat the process, on a smaller scale, in their neighborhood.
