Today we are joined by church planter Logan Shields, who talks with us about his background in church planting, what it's like to plant with the Anglican denomination, the importance of a residency period as a church planter, and the importance for church planters to keep focus on discipleship rather than numbers. 

Logan grew up in northern Utah, becoming a believer at 15. Soon after he felt a call for the mission field and was given a heart for those who don’t yet know Jesus. After bible college at Moody Bible Institute, he and his wife Abbey left for Nashville to help plant a multi-ethnic church. Three years later, God had put together a team to send to Porto Portugal to plant a church. After 7 years, they turned over the leadership to local leadership and moved to Meridian Idaho and lead an evangelical Anglican church plant. They now have two beautiful girls, Ariella 6 and Lillian 4, who are fun, rambunctious and very creative like their mom! Logan and Abbey love to host and feast with friends, read books, especially geeky theological ones, craft beer and be outdoors. Their vision for Christ the King Anglican is “to see Christ glorified, families strengthened, lives changed and the city transformed by proclaiming the good news of Jesus as king!”

Soul Care Summit

This year's Soul Care Prayer Summit is happening April 22-24 up at Quaker Hill in McCall. The Summit is for men and women who serve as leaders and missionaries in the Treasure Valley. This is a space created for you as a visionary leader to hear from God and care for your soul–and it's not just for pastors. It's for anyone who has a vision for kingdom transformation in their sphere of influence. We want to create a space for you and your spouse to pray over that, and to pray for our valley together as a unified church trying to reach our communities with the gospel. We're also helping with childcare this year, so let us know on the registration form if that's a need for your family. Go to www.thecitynetwork.org/soulcare to register!
