LAST YEAR YOU HELPED
NEW CHURCHES
CHURCH PLANTERS
Help start churches where families like Ebony’s find hope
When you support church planting, you’re creating more than a Sunday service — you’re creating a lifeline.
Ebony was referred to Creekside, a new local church, by a school social worker during a difficult season in her family’s life. Because Creekside existed — because someone like you helped start it — the church was ready to serve, care, and walk alongside her.
Over time, Ebony became part of the community. Then she asked the pastor, Gregg, to officiate her wedding. Then, that conversation led to something even greater: Gregg shared the Gospel with Ebony, her fiancé, and their daughter. All three said yes to Jesus. All three were baptized the following Sunday.
That’s what happens when you help start churches — lives are changed for eternity.

Why we help start churches
The world is noisy, and the next generation is listening. In a world marked by climate anxiety, political unrest, and school shootings, fear feels ever-present. People need the peace, hope, and compassion of Jesus. The Church can help—You can help.
- Share the Gospel with the world — Planting new churches is the most effective way to reach people with the hope of Jesus.
- Today’s churches aren’t enough — Populations are growing, while established churches continue to close.
- The next generation needs to know Jesus—85% of Christians make a decision to follow Jesus before the age of 18
