This was an Acts 29 Carolinas Network Regional Event focused on training and networking for planters and pastors in the Carolinas. All are welcome to come.
The great southern author Flannery O’Connor famously observed, “while the South is hardly Christ-centered, it is most certainly Christ-haunted.” But what would happen to our “over-churched, under-gospeled” landscape if a new generation of men planted gospel-centered churches that thrive in our context?

Speakers:
Tyler Jones
Tyler and his wife Kimberly moved to Raleigh in 1997 after graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After working with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at North Carolina State University for 5 years, they felt called to plant a church in downtown Raleigh. Vintage Church was planted in the fall of 2002 with a small group of people and currently has 3 campuses in the Triangle that meet every Sunday. He serves on the board for the Acts29 church-planting network, and founded Advance the Church, a cooperative nondenominational movement to help plant and revitalize local churches. Tyler and Kimberly have three little ones: Ellia, Lyla, and Lincoln.
