CHURCH PLANTING
Are you interested in joining the work of church planting?
2015
Crossway Bible Church was planted in San Antonio, Texas by Radiant Church Austin in 2014. Pastor Josh de Koning was apprenticed by Pastor Bryan Payne and trained by other planting pastors in our network during a church planting intensive in Chicago, IL, and he continues his education through the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
2016
Harvest Bible Chapel Cap-Rouge was launched on May 30, 2016, led by Pastor Antoine Sainvil. Antoine and his wife, Jenny, have served the people of Haiti in orphanages, through earthquake and hurricane relief, and through ongoing discipleship in some of the most difficult circumstances imaginable. Antoine received his education as the 16-year apprentice of Pastor Abraham Comper at nearby Harvest Bible Chapel Jacmel. By God’s grace, Crossway Bible Church partnered with several other churches in our network to make the church plant there in Cap-Rouge, Haiti, a reality.
2017
Redemption Bible Church was launched in New Braunfels, Texas, on October 1, 2017, and is led by Pastor Blair Cushman. Blair and his wife, Erin, are passionate to see the gospel spread and believers strengthened through this work. Blair received his formal theological education at Moody Bible Institute. Crossway Bible Church is privileged to serve as the coaching and supporting church for this young plant.
