ANNUAL REPORT 2023
A Message from Our President
2023 marked 20 years of Stadia helping you start thriving, growing, multiplying churches for the next generation! Throughout the last 20 years, we’ve helped start 2,142 new churches. That equals hundreds of thousands of people who have heard the good news of Jesus through Stadia-served churches, something we’re eager to celebrate with you! This year, it was a true delight to reflect on our journey, and connect with church leaders who were among our first plants in 2003 and are still on mission today! God is so good.
2023 allowed us to position Stadia so that we can start thousands more new churches in the next 10 years. We begin 2024 excitedly, with an updated brand, a high-impact team, new domestic and global church planting partnerships, and a clear strategy for how we will help start 1,000 churches in 2024.
It is our hope that in 2024, we will have the opportunity to gather with you in person and inspire your passion for church multiplication. We are working diligently to create both domestic and international church planting experiences, including trips with global church planting partners in Togo, Africa, and South Asia! The Lord is at work both near and far and we are blessed to be part of his plan to expand his Kingdom. We’re so grateful to share the love of Jesus through new churches around the world!
Until Every Child Has a Church,

Our Journey
In 2003 Stadia began with a goal to help start new churches. Today, this still remains true.
Stadia provides guidance to churches and leaders who want to multiply disciples of Jesus, and has helped start over 2,000 new churches since our beginning.
In scripture, a stadia is a unit of measure used by John in the book of Revelation to describe the size of heaven—the boundaries of a space that we are told will be filled with “a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation,
from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb…” [Revelation 7:9]
Over the last 20 years, we’ve been honored to be on a mission that directly helps build the multitude described in Revelation 7, and we will continue working so that the next generation has access to the hope of Jesus through thriving, growing, multiplying churches.
