WHAT IS PAGLAGO

Paglago is a Pilipino word that means luxuriant growth. It describes the program for growth of Filipino American United Methodist churches. As a plan for congregational development, it embodies this process of planting: persons are deployed to offer Christ and plant the seed of love (God's word) to bring about new communities of faith (Acts 2:42). It is also an endeavor to animate existing churches, give vigor and new vitality to the community to aggressively go to unknown territory, bring the gospel to unfamiliar people and organize churches among Filipino immigrants and U.S. born Filipino Americans.

Paglago's ministry and program include a leadership development model that is based on partnership and teamwork, a church growth curriculum, recruitment and training and stewardship development.
