Nearly 4,000 churches close every year in America. Yet every neighborhood
deserves a vibrant church where people can experience Jesus' love.
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 by 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? You can show the video above, read this Converge MidAtlantic church planting update, and pray. Or use the resources below to create your own special 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.
