d. Encourage Churches to develop specific initiatives to start new ministries, plant new Churches, and to invite the Churches in Classis to partner with the Committee in their efforts.

e. Provide resources and help facilitate established Churches as they go through processes of renewal and discernment especially in the context of the rapidly changing demographics of the GTA.
