Jesus told us to go continually.
In response to all that Jesus has done for us, he asked us to continually go and share the Good News with others. This means that God may be asking you to join a team that starts a new church. Or you may send others by praying and giving financially to launch new churches.
Raise awareness for church planting and pray.
Will you take five minutes in your worship service to talk about the need for church planting and to pray? Use the resources below to create your own special emphasis on church planting during your service.
Your gift makes a difference.
A significant way that Converge MidAtlantic supports new churches is by raising start-up funds to get them launched. We have an ambitious goal to start 30 new churches through 2025. We will need to raise $500,000 to accomplish this goal. You can take a special offering and contribute to the Converge MidAtlantic Church Planting Fund during your Church Planting Weekend.
Stay true to your unique calling.
Just don’t go it alone.
If you want help starting a church, strengthening your church, or reaching unreached people groups with the gospel, let’s talk.
