WHY IS HOLISTIC CHURCH PLANTING IMPORTANT?

The Unfinished Task Network sees the indigenous local church as the proper and best agent of transformation. For too long, the church has relinquished to governments and non-government organizations (NGOs) her responsibility and opportunity for community transformation.

Transformational development
The Unfinished Task Network’s understanding of mission is best described as holistic mission. This is in contrast to the common practice throughout the world of distinguishing preaching from social action, separating church ministry from community transformation. UTN’s calling is to equip and encourage church leaders to initiate living, thriving, prophetic communities of faith that embody the Good News of God’s mission in words, deed, and character in their own specific contexts. Transformation results when we implement asset-based development that focuses on what people have rather than what they do not have.

​Project: transformation
We define churches as prophetic communities of faith. Project: Transformation is the name we give to the process by which UTN equips a church planter or pastor to lead the church to be an agent of transformation implementing asset-based development within the larger community as well as within his own church family. The church leader leads the church to foster relationships that result in empowered followers of Jesus Christ who embrace community transformation as God’s purpose for the church in a particular village, community, or city.
