Don’t we have enough churches?

Some claim we do not need new churches because we already have enough churches in our communities. This is simply not true. We desperately need new churches. In fact, planting new churches is the most effective way for people to come to faith in Christ. God is inviting us to join Him in planting new churches to help thousands more come to faith in Jesus Christ.

We desire to help finish the task Jesus started. When Jesus ascended into heaven He left a spiritual family of 120 believers in an upper room. This spiritual family was the first church. A few weeks later, hundreds of churches were started in homes all over Jerusalem. Within the next few years churches were planted all over the known world. By planting new churches, we continue what Jesus started. Our God continues today to use ordinary people who trust in an extraordinary God and become spiritual fathers and mothers who plant new unique churches in their communities. Through their obedience, many come to faith in Christ.

We believe the Lord is giving us an invitation to join Him to plant hundreds of new churches throughout the world during the next few years. Perhaps the Lord is calling you to start a new church. We are here to help you.
