 The core group helping to start this new work in Collierville meets on Sunday evenings at 5:30 pm at ECS
​(intersection of Wolf River Blvd. and Forest Hill Irene Rd.).
If you're interested in joining us, please call or email for more information.
​“We are excited about our new calling because we wholeheartedly believe that church multiplication is the most effective way to reach people for Christ. From Madison Heights to the Mid-South PCA Church Planting Network, our journey has been one of changed lives through church planting. Our prayer is that this will continue in Collierville and the Memphis area to the glory of God.”

Meet the Brewers!

He is married to the former Vicki Klauser of Tupelo, Mississippi and they have two children. ​

Why Plant Churches?

In the South, it seems there are churches on every corner. Unfortunately, we live in a nation where the Christian church continues to decline in terms of numbers and influence. 
  • There are 60% fewer churches today (per capita) than there were 100 years ago. 
  • Less than twenty percent of the population in the US attends church on a regular basis. 
  • By 2050, the percentage of the US population attending church will be almost half of what it was in 1990. 
  • The church is declining at an alarming rate of 9.5% while the population of the US is increasing by 11.5%.

Why Plant in Collierville?

  1. It is the second largest city in Tennessee without a PCA church. 
  2. It is the fastest growing city in the Memphis metropolitan area. 
  3. There are only 9 PCA churches in the Memphis metro area. How does this compare to other large metro areas in the Southeast? See below:

A Vision for the City: CollierVision

Picture
Our vision for Collierville is to start a church which faithfully proclaims the exceedingly good news that is the grace, forgiveness and love of Christ. This is expressed through: 
  • Multiplication – planting churches in the name of Christ in metro Memphis, the mid-South, our nation and the world
  • Missional Living – winsomely sharing the message of hope we have in Jesus with our community
  • Mercy – lovingly serving our neighbors for the sake of Jesus
  • Means of Grace – knowing and experiencing Christ through the preaching/teaching of the Word, the sacraments and prayer​

Are contributions tax-deductible? 
Yes, you will receive a year-end statement. 
 
Do you receive support from your denomination? 
The agency of the PCA that assists with church planting is called Mission to North America (MNA). They provide administrative assistance and logistical support, but not financial. 
 
Why do you have to raise support? 
Financial support for this plant will come from churches and eventually the core group that is gathered. In the PCA, the traditional means of funding for church plants has been a combination of support from churches, friends/family, and the core group.

How You Can Help!

  1. We need a group of people committed to praying for this new work (Ephesians 6:18). If you would like to stay informed so you know how to pray, please email for more information. 
  2. We need financial supporters. Specifically, we need two or three-year commitments from individuals and churches. The budget alone for the first year is $170,000 (salary, rental space, administration, outreach, worship, etc). It will increase significantly in years two and three. 
  3. We need help getting the word out about this plant. If you know of anyone that might be interested, please don’t hesitate to let them know.

Why Give?

There is no better investment than church planting.
  • First, you are giving to a Kingdom-focused, evangelistic effort. Men, women, and children will hear about a King and his kingdom.
  • Second, you are investing in a future church that will eventually support its own missionaries, church planters, and local ministries. 
  • Third, your gift will multiply. Lord willing, this church will grow deep roots and proclaim the message of grace and redemption for generations to come.

Projected Timeline

Picture
​Year One 2019 – Our family will transition from Oxford, Mississippi to Collierville. The core group will begin meeting weekly in August on Sunday evenings for a Bible study. The focus for year one will center on raising support, gaining familiarity with the city of Collierville, and developing relationship with others in the community.

​Year Two 2020 – The core group will prayerfully and intentionally develop our future vision and mission goals. We will begin the process of moving towards regular worship. We will focus on leadership development and carrying out the mission of the church plant through ministry teams. 

​Year Two 2021 –  In the third year, we hope to expand the ministry and reach of the church plant through additional staff members. Additionally, we will begin to plan for future church plants in the Memphis area.

We look forward to hearing from you!
