Welcome to the family.
We believe the most effective way of reaching nations with the Gospel of Jesus Christ is through the planting of healthy churches.
Our Church Planting Mission
Our mission is to attract, equip, resource and mobilise called and committed church planters with strong church planting teams who will build healthy churches that influence their communities.
