Mobilizing disciples of jesus christ

OUR VISION

Church 2|42 exists to mobilize disciples of Jesus Christ to bring the
Gospel message of hope and restoration to the sidelines and the sidewalks.

Our vision is to see our community radically transformed by the power
of the Gospel.

Why tanner?

Within the city of Hanahan, the Tanner Communities are a large contributor to this
growth. There are 22,000 people that call Hanahan home. This population is predicted to
continue to increase in the coming years. As the population increases, we need more churches in this city and in this country that are biblically faithful, culturally relevant, and missionally focused.

Throughout the week, families gather together on the sidelines of the ballfields to cheer
their children on in their chosen sport. If this is where the people are, this is where the
church must be. We have to join the efforts of other faithful churches in reaching the lost
with the gospel of Jesus Christ through living on mission and making disciples in our city to advance the Kingdom of God.

HOW CAN YOU BE A PART OF THIS MINISTRY?

PRAY

Church planting has existed since Pentecost with the coming of the Holy Spirit. Even from the beginning of the first century church, prayer has been a foundational element to the mission and success of the church. Church 2|42 will be absolutely powerless without prayer from the body of believers. Please join us by committing to pray weekly or daily on our behalf. In doing so, you will receive a monthly newsletter that will provide specific prayer requests and updates on our church planting journey.

CONNECT

Now that you are aware of what God has called us to do, can you connect us with others like yourself who might be interested in partnering with us? We would love to meet your family, friends, Sunday School class, Small Group, or business associates.

GIVE

Answering God’s call to ministry has required tremendous sacrifice and faith for our family. We are confident that God will provide not only for our personal financial needs, but also for the church’s.

To begin Church 2|42 will need approximately $200,000 for the first year, $155,000 the second, and $100,000 for the third. This income will provide a salary for the lead planter as well as secure rental space, purchase equipment and marketing solutions, and discipleship material. With this understanding, it is often mission-minded family, friends, churches, and businesses that are used by God to provide for the church plant. There are several options for any willing financial supporter no matter the economic situation.

During the church’s infancy, Church 2|42 will depend on Restoration Community Church, Kingdom Church, and Together Church for financial oversight, guidance, and accountability. Please partner with us by choosing one of the Partner Levels in the box to the right. (All financial support is tax-deductible) Please email questions to Sean@Church242.org.
