She Starts Churches

We help you start thriving, growing, multiplying churches for the next generation

Because we want every child to have a church.

We know many women have the skills and leadership abilities that church plant teams need.

So what’s the problem? Church planting is not on their radar.

Either the church they’re in hasn’t introduced them to church planting or they simply haven’t been given the opportunities for teaching & leadership that many men in churches have had exposure to.

But We Need Your Help…

We need more people to get involved in church planting — specifically women.

We want to…

• Connect with & equip this valuable part of the church.

• Surround women with the encouragement, resources, and support they need to get going!

• Encourage women to help start churches.

To do this, we need three things:

1) Church leaders—both men and women—to get involved.

Serve as mentors and coaches, lead cohorts, host residencies, give women speaking opportunities, engage them in strategic meetings. Help us prepare more women for church planting!

2) Women to explore church planting.

We need women to take the first steps in discovering how God might be inviting them to start a church or join a church plant team.

3) Funding.

Women in church planting are significantly under-resourced. They need additional training and resources, so we’re raising $100,000 to get this initiative off the ground.

She Changes the World

We celebrate all women who lead in the church

We honor the women who lead up front, the ones who lead backstage, the ones who teach us and teach the next generation. We embrace the girls and young women who will become tomorrow’s leaders. We acknowledge the many ways God uses women, each with their unique story to tell and journey to walk.
