Associate Director - Rev. William
Holmes, Jr.
Urban/Ethnic Church Planting
On September 1, 2003, Rev. Bill Holmes was unanimously appointed
to the position of Urban/Ethnic Associate by the Mission Mid-Atlantic board and the
Church Planting Committee. Bill Holmes has been the associate pastor
of the First Baptist Church of Collingdale PA for the last fourteen
years.
Over the years the Lord has been preparing Bill to be uniquely
qualified for this position. He has a love for the city, has
cross-cultural experience, and clearly has demonstrated his ability to
work well with all people, i.e. city dwellers, ethnic groups and poor
people.
Bill has just been called to be senior pastor at Maran-atha
Tabernacle, Darby PA. With the counsel of a Leadership Support Team
that includes Mission Mid-Atlantic, Bill and this church will reconnect with its
changed neighborhood and develop a cross-cultural church, providing a
model for replanting a city church. He also plans to build a resource
network for the pastors and churches in the urban centers of our
region and provide an information center for the state and city
services available to better aid the people they serve.
