Background: 5 year partnership in Pittsburgh with Redeeming Grace and planter Josh Tancordo came to a mutual close with RG becoming a viable church with established leadership. Upon prayerful consideration, FBCF missions committee agreed to target a new partnership with church planters in Baltimore, MD for a future partnership. In April 2019, Randy Cunningham and Pastor Evan met with 6 planters in Baltimore (2 transitioning to NAMB staff, 4 plants reviewed). A primary partnership will be bridged with Freedom Church Windsor Mill and planter Jay Jones. This will provide opportunity to build ministry in the city of Baltimore and develop a secondary partnership with Restoration Church Curtis Bay and planter Anthony Petini.
