Why plant
CHURCHES?

“Church planting is the best way to bring many new Christians into the body of Christ” —Timothy Keller

New churches reach new people. They can move close to unreached people geographically and culturally.

New churches also give more people the chance to serve and grow as disciples. It’s all hands on deck in a fledgling church.
