You are invited to an exclusive, intimate forum designed specifically for current and aspiring church planters navigating the unique challenges of New York City. This is not a conference; it’s a living-room conversation where we move beyond surface-level strategies to discuss the true spiritual and practical demands of planting in a complex context like New York.
This forum brings together two voices with more than 30+ years of combined experience:
Key Author & Pastor, Jon Tyson: Pastor and author known for his deep commitment to ministry in New York City. Jon will share insights on cultural engagement and spiritual sustainability that have defined his ministry.
Facilitator, Guy Wasko (FOR.NYC): With more than 16 years of dedicated church planting experience in New York City, Guy will facilitate the gathering, ensuring the experience is grounded, relevant, and directly applicable to your context.
What to Expect: More Than Best Practices
This gathering is an opportunity for church planters to learn not just best practices, but also our hearts. We will dive into:
Spiritual Longevity: How to sustain your faith and marriage while leading a demanding plant in an isolating city.
Contextual Strategy: Practical lessons learned over two decades of planting in diverse NYC neighborhoods.
Candid Conversation: An open Q&A session focused on the toughest questions you face regarding funding, leadership burnout, team building, and missional strategy.
This is a peer-to-peer environment committed to fostering genuine relationships and providing the kind of deep, city-specific wisdom that only comes from years on the ground.
Who Should Attend?
This forum is strictly limited and reserved for active church planters in the New York Metro Area who are currently planting or in the launch phase.
RSVP is required. Dinner and a Private experience at The Carnegie Club will be included in the evening’s agenda.
