“…Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” —Jesus
Seeds
of Hope:
The Hillsboro Project
The Hillsboro Project is possible because a community of faith believes God wants to do something new.
In the ‘80s, Valley Hope Community Church was planted in Hillsboro. In recent years, the congregation has been in decline.
The remnant who remain made the brave decision to embark on the Dying to Restart process.
This remnant entrusted their remaining resources to a
Restart Board.
This board, comprised of area pastors and leaders, is focused on aligning resources to plant a new church through this location.
The Restart Board unanimously identified the planting pastor to oversee this project:
Erin Taylor
Dying to Restart is impacting 26 congregations nationally.
So, What’s Next?
The Taylor Family relocated to Hillsboro in the summer of 2024. With their boots on the ground, they are focused on a journey of discernment, discovery, and development of a launch team. Amid this process, they are gaining clarity on the church model to be used, developing a community impact strategy, choosing a name for the new church, and establishing a timeline for a 2025 launch.
