Since COVID-19, church planting has declined significantly, dropping to about 70 new churches per year. To reverse this trend, we are launching a strategic initiative to hire a Church Planting Champion. This leader will cast vision, build partnerships, and mobilize leaders to increase church planting to 200 new churches annually. With focused leadership and a strong strategy, we believe this role can reignite a multiplying movement.
We believe God is calling us to expand His Kingdom through a renewed church planting movement. Striving to meet this goal of planting 200 new churches each year will mean more communities reached with the Gospel, more leaders empowered, and a broader, more diverse church presence globally. This is about moving from decline to multiplication.
Our goals for the next two years:
• Increasing new church plants from 70 to 200 per year.
• Establishing strong partnerships with church planting organizations.
• Equipping a growing number of multicultural leaders.
• Creating scalable systems and momentum for long-term growth.
We plan to achieve our goals through; strategic vision casting, pointed collaboration, multicultural emphasis, and tactical events that foster engagement. These events will be church practitioner events, immersive learning with active models, attending global and regional conferences, and gaining inspiration at high-impact church planting sites.
Will you consider partnering with us as we take-on this God-sized task in planting churches to spread the gospel.
