Planting churches in North America and beyond

Our goal is to reach 100,000 people with the gospel

So many people across North America don’t know Jesus; many of them are people you know. Church planting is one of the most effective ways to reach people, so we’re starting 1,000 new churches in 20 years. We’re planting these churches to introduce 100,000 people to Jesus and raise them up as disciples. You’re part of this—or you could be.

God is sovereign and will bring the gospel to the darkest places. We can be part of that, too. Let’s be fearless.

The vision for planting

Why plant churches?

People need to know the love of God and the power of that love in their lives. Church plants are more effective at reaching people who don’t know Jesus. Why? It’s simple: it’s their whole purpose. Evangelism is one of many focuses at an established church, but it’s the primary call of a church plant.
