Planting a Church in Brooklyn

Allen Roth tells about planting Followers of Jesus Mennonite Church. In 1986, Allen and Carolyn Roth moved to Brooklyn, New York to help plant a church. Allen also shares about the types of ministry that he has seen work well and those that have not. “Success is defined in people coming to Christ, in becoming committed members of the church, in reaching out in their own neighborhood, in starting another church, in sending out missionaries, in winning their own children to Christ; to me, that is what success looks like.” Learn more about Followers of Jesus Mennonite Church: http://www.fjmcny.org/ Read (or listen to the narration of) Allen’s article on Urban Church Planting: https://anabaptistperspectives.org/planting-an-anabaptist-church-in-a-city/ This is the 141st episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.
