Today Scott Thomas spoke at the FIND conference in Charleston, South Carolina, on Gospel-Centered Church Planting. Get the full article here.
I want to talk to you about the way we approach church planting and the making of disciples. I don’t want to dazzle you; I want to talk to you as a church planter for 16 years and as a church-planting director of Acts 29 where we get to play in the sandbox and dream big.

Eric Mason recently became a part of the Acts 29 Network's Board of Directors. He planted Epiphany Fellowship Philadelphia, PA, about three years ago and has shepherded the young, urban, arts & tech savvy church through a lot of growth. Scott Thomas had the chance to sit down with Eric before he went to speak at the Houston Boot Camp last week, and get an update from him.
Eric says that God's been "dumb gracious," to Epiphany Fellowship as they've grown. He notes how young Epiphany is and says there's a lot of patience needed but that he's thankful that he has an exuberant and passionate young crowd that he has to pull back in wisdom rather than push to motivate. Epiphany will be adding three additional elders soon, too, and they are already ...
