Go Plant a Church with Kim Hammond

5 years ago

Kim Hammond is a recognised evangelist with a passion for church planting. His response to the great commission is “Go plant a church”. He is the church planting champion at CityLife Church and leads a site. He is the former International Director of Forge, served on the staff at Community Christian Church (USA) and is involved with New Thing, a church planting movement.

Kim grew up in Melbourne Australia, served as a youth pastor for many years and planted a church as a young man. His passion is to see the gospel influence communities. Kim is passionate about the church living among the community to serve and love people for Christ. He is a trusted voice in the discussion of the ‘church on mission and church planting’.

Kim attributes much of his understandings today toward Alan Hirsch who is a trusted friend and brother to Kim and his family. The sharp emphasis for the church to see herself as the ‘sent’ body of Christ to a world that needs hope and salvation was formed during his time with Alan many years ago.

Kim is unique in that he is a part of a mega church that is exploring and making the shifts needed to plant churches that come out of praying, listening and serving a local community. He articulates new paradigms needed for church planting for 2020 and beyond very clearly.
