Taking the gospel mission seriously in seemingly unimportant places
Small towns are big mission fields that are almost totally neglected by modern church planters & leaders. City ministry has become, for many, the definition of godly ministry. However, we need to hear a call to take the gospel everywhere, big or small, because that is what Jesus told us to do.
The purpose of this book and website is to remind people, including church planters and leaders, of this truth so that we can begin to see a shift in church culture towards focusing equally on both big cities and small towns. Our hope is that this will lead to great churches in every small town around the world making much of Jesus.
This website is a way to connect with Donnie, the author of Small Town Jesus, and engage other church leaders so we can learn from and encourage one another. We also hope this website will serve as a resource hub for all things related to small towns and rural areas.

The heart of the Small Town Jesus website is to help those seeking to do church planting and church revitalization in small towns by giving opportunities for planters and existing pastors to rally together, learn from each other so we can better advance the gospel in small towns.
We would love to know more about you as we seek to resource people interested in small town ministry. Click above to get a FREE CHAPTER from Small Town Jesus.
