New churches are evangelistic. They do not compete with existing churches, instead they reach the unchurched. Each new church has a God-given vision. Planning and goal setting are driven by the vision. The small group method most often used by Texas Baptists is the Sunday School.
Various resources are available to the new church from the cooperative partnership.
The resources offered are tailored to meet the characteristics of each new church. The majority of the support is given by local entities. All support encourages the church to become indigenous.
