Overview and Introduction to Communitas International

Communitas is a church planting organization with 50 years experience working in Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America and North America. Our leading edge ministry is looking for the right person to help lead us into greater Kingdom ministry. Our current mission family of over 200 includes full-time, bi-vocational employees, as well as affiliates, with many of that number being non-Americans. Communitas operates in over 20 different countries as we start new initiatives and nurture churches and church-planting projects toward reproducible maturity. 

Communitas is rooted in missional theology. Our three core values center on being Kingdom seeking, Grace oriented and People focused. Our church planting methodology is not tied to a specific formula, but rather the spirit of serving others and the embracing of a progression of actions that lead to a healthy, maturing church, making our approach very adaptable to unique contexts (see www.TheDynamicAdventure.com for details). We are pioneers and risk takers. We value honesty and encouragement. We collaborate well, within our global regions, as well as with partner organizations.

The Need and Opportunity

Across post-Christian secular culture people have largely given up on church, but spirituality remains important to them. Communitas International is at the forefront of sparking that spirituality with mission and helping people ‘taste and see that the Lord is good’. Our church planting organization offers the following:

• A firm commitment to expressing the passionate love of God for the world in word and deed.
• Substantial experience in reaching people in post-Christian culture.
• Strategic coaching for planters and churches by experienced cross-cultural practitioners.
• Robust training for team leaders and members via online cohorts, on-site events and regional/global seminars and conferences.
• Rigorous assessment experiences and tools that can form the basis for strategic coaching and healthy team building.
• Partnership in innovation with those looking for new ways to declare the timeless message of the Gospel.
