Church Planting
Prospective Planters

Discern Your Calling
Starting something from the ground up can feel daunting, especially when it comes to planting a church.
But what if you could take clear, guided steps toward discerning your calling and making a lasting impact for God’s kingdom?
If you are passionate about:
-
Starting a new work for the glory of God
-
Reaching people who aren't connected to a church
-
Advancing God’s Kingdom in your community
Church planting might be your calling.

Not Sure Yet?
What’s at stake
Every year, churches close their doors, and fewer new ones take their place. Without bold leaders like you to step forward, communities risk losing vital places of worship, outreach, and discipleship.
By planting a church, you’re helping to reverse this trend—offering hope, renewal, and the light of Christ to those in need.
Are you ready?
Church planting is a unique calling that requires both deep spiritual roots and practical readiness.

-
