Church Planting
The Lord Jesus definitively declared that He will build His church (Matthew 16:18). Following this pronouncement, and upon the basis of His sovereign authority, Jesus commissioned His followers to go and make disciples within the context of the local church beginning in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth (Matthew 28:18–20; Acts 1:8). It is this very mission we see the disciples devoted to throughout the book of Acts as they endeavored to plant and establish local churches (Acts 2:41–42; 8:3–5, 12, 14; 9:31; 11:19–26; 13:1–4; 14:21–23; 15:35–36, 40–41).
Therefore, in obedience to our Lord's mandate and in following the model of the New Testament church, Countryside is committed to planting churches beginning in our own Jerusalem (DFW metroplex), and then beyond, as the Lord provides opportunities.

Led by Pastor Dusty Burris, and accompanied by a strong core of Countrysiders, the church established herself in the growing area of Northlake, TX. Since her public launch, Northlake has officially become independent, now having the oversight of a plurality of elders.
