Join the Church Planting Movement
With 14 lost million people stretched across the sprawling rural farmlands, mountains, coastland and urban centers, the choices are limitless.
Those looking to start a church plant will find areas where the good news of Jesus needs to be lived out and proclaimed, while others can lead an existing church to reach their transforming community through replanting.
Opportunities are here for the church planter who is vocational, bi-vocational or co-vocational.
