We are a partnership for church planting.
We exist to glorify God through the fulfillment of the great commission in the spirit of the great commandment by launching planters and strengthening churches around the world.
We launch
planters.
Our country and world need more healthy churches. This demands more healthy church planters, so we’re committed to training qualified men as healthy preachers, leaders, and shepherds—giving them critical tools for their craft.
We then aim to launch each new planter with a mature, cohesive core team who are fully aligned on vision, mission, and distinctives—who can bear fruit quickly with a defined and intentional discipleship model.
We strengthen churches.
Churches and pastors need regular support, strengthening, and care in order to thrive. We provide ongoing training and relationships for our partners through cohorts, retreats, and annual equipping events.
We work with each partner to grow through five stages of advancement, cultivating a healthy church and leadership, and building toward multiplication of planters, more churches, and global impact.
We impact the world.
Christ’s heart is for all peoples, so our planting and strengthening strategies go well beyond our home country. As we implement what we do globally, we get to offer our partner opportunities to grow their own vision and engagement for bringing the gospel to the ends of the Earth.
We run hard toward the goal of getting all domestic partners praying, giving, and going to serve our international partners and projects.
Partnered around the world for kingdom progress.
“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations.”
Our name reflects our mandate from Jesus to make disciples, and the truth that the gospel purpose, values, and methods we pursue are not new ideas. Rather, they’re our shared history, handed down from generation to generation, and as effective and powerful today as they were 2,000 years ago.
