Church Planting
Phil and Wendy have served in the ministry of church planting for over 34 years. The Stogners are committed to the Free Church of Scotland’s vision to plant 30 new congregations by 2030 (30 x 30). They work with the Glasgow City Free Church to encourage pastors in this large and strategic city. Their desire is to coach, counsel, and care for the Scottish shepherds who have a vision to see Christ’s flock grow into healthy churches as the gospel grows outward in Glasgow.
ECP was started by Walter Wood in April, 2020 to advance the church planting movement in the cities of Europe through coaching, church plant training, network development, and equipping pastors for long-term effectiveness. After nearly 40 years as an associate pastor, church planter, lead pastor, and Catalyst for City to City (redeemercitytocity.com), Walter embarked on a new ministry to continue to share his passion for church planting and experience with church planters and pastors in Europe. Walter has been involved in the European church planting scene since 2008, and is the ECP Director and sole staff at this time.
