The District Liaison is a member of the Kansas City District Church Plant Team, assigned by the district to each church plant. Their role is to meet regularly with church planters to provide encouragement and address key areas that contribute to the healthy growth of their ministry. Additionally, the District Liaison plays a vital role in establishing an accountability system that helps identify both strengths and areas for improvement.
A church planter is matched with a District Liaison once a new ministry is registered, and the partnership continues until the ministry is officially organized or as long as the ministry remains active.
Meeting Frequency: Once a month. Meetings should be held in person every other month or conducted via an online meeting platform as needed.
Key Areas Addressed by the District Liaison:
- Implementation Plan: Reviewing goals, targets, progress, challenges, necessary adjustments, and testimonies.
- Church Plant Systems: Assessing key ministry areas, including evangelism, outreach, finances, attendance, preaching, and partnerships with the mother church.
- Fulfillment of Requirements: Ensuring mentorship meetings occur, monthly statistics and annual pastor reports are submitted, and financial reports are provided (if a grant has been awarded).
- Education & Credentialing: Tracking progress and identifying needs related to ministerial education and credentialing.
- Coaching Services & Follow-Up: Assessing the need for coaching, processing requests, setting goals, and reviewing final reports.
