The Philip Center

The Philip Center serves as a catalyst for outreach ministries. We work with churches, and occassionally with para-church ministries that are also oriented to serving local churches. We heartlily embrace the Foundation Documents of The Gospel Coalition. But even churches that are "deeply committed to renewing our faith in the gospel of Christ and t... o reforming our ministry practices to conform fully to the Scriptures" struggle with gospel outreach. For many reasons, evangelistic outreach is hard. So The Philip Center is devoted to serving churches as they seek to make disciples of Jesus Christ. Sometimes our planting projects are small. Planting an outreach ministry may involve helping to get a new, 8-week evangelism training course off the ground. Or planting a new ministry may be a two-year process of helping a church renew their outreach by working with the elders. We may help them re-craft their mission conference ("Reaching Jerusalem with the Gospel") and then establish a new deacon of outreach. Other times the scope of a project may be much larger. Establishing a new ministy may involve being a catalyst for a church plant. We have helped to plant Godspeed Fellowship (Seekonk, MA) and are currently working to establish a new church in Providence, RI.Read More
