/0 Comments/in , , /by


The Metro-New York Baptist Association has a vision for reaching the nations from the most diverse place on the planet: Jackson Heights, Queens, NYC.

Partnerships are forming now to create a church planting center in Jackson Heights: a physical space, that would house multiple congregations, and allow for citizenship and ESL classes, mission team housing, and more.

It is a huge vision that must involve other churches, state conventions and associations. You can be a part of it. Please watch this video and connect with George Russ in NYC to secure your spot on the upcoming vision tour.

NEW YORK – CERICDigital and Boe Ellis are pleased to roll out today in partnership with George Russ of the the Metro New York Baptist Association and Steve Allen of the North American Mission Board the new NYCChurchPLanting.net.

Geared especially as a resource for connecting future planters to the world’s most strategic metro-area, Ellis says the site will bring together the best of two worlds. First, Steve Allen’s influence and input as NAMB’s Lead Church Planting Catalyst for the Tri-State Church Planting team will give the site an insider’s look into the world of becoming a planter in the Metro-NYC area. And second, George Russ’s perspective as a local association leader will bring to the site a local flavor and a day-to-day, on-the-ground presence.

Though the site is still undergoing a major development / re-development, the team felt like there was enough of the story there now to go ahead and flip the switch and make the site live.

“I love it,” Allen said. “I love the new look and especially the way we have created a simple navigation for both planters and partners to find their way around. I look forward to this site representing us well and growing in the coming years.”
