These stories haven't happened yet — but they will. We're painting the scenarios we're praying and planning toward, so you can see the impact before you help build it.
Composite scenes drawn from real research, real conversations with sending pastors, and the specific gaps a thousand new churches would fill.
Picture a bivocational youth pastor in Jackson — the one nobody has asked yet. In eighteen months he's assessed, prepared, and standing in front of forty neighbors on a Sunday morning. This is the story we're writing.
A young family moves into a neighborhood that had no gospel witness for a mile. By 2030, they don't have to drive to find one. The church came to them — because a sending church committed.
A rented storefront. A pastor who almost quit twice. A neighborhood that started praying. Imagine the day the water is finally warm and twelve people step in.
Population declining. Only church in town closed in 2019. A planter with agricultural roots moves in, and by year three the sanctuary is full again — not with transfers, but with the actually-lost, actually-found.
No parachute drop. A planter raised in the block, sent by a church across the river, funded by four sister churches. The neighborhood recognizes its own name in the preaching.
Somewhere between now and 2030, a church we haven't named yet holds its first worship service. It will feel small. It will change everything. This is what we're praying toward.
Future stories require present work. Here's the team on the ground, the training being built, and the churches already committed — a glimpse of the impact we know is coming.
A small, sending-pastor-heavy team leading Identify, Prepare, Plant, and Multiply. Profiles and bios rolling out as commitments come in.
How we identify planters already in your pews, prepare them without pulling them out of ministry, and walk them to launch.
Real sending pastors, real reasons. From megachurches to congregations of eighty — the churches already committed to plant by 2030.
Because envisioned stories keep the work honest. Every scenario names a specific pastor, family, or neighborhood the movement is for — and every committed church makes one of them real.
Read the vision, then pick the pathway your church is closest to. The stories start when a sending pastor says yes.
Add your church to a future story by committing to plant. We'll come back and write the real version when your plant launches.
Commit your church →We are looking for 1,000 partner churches to commit to identifying, preparing, planting, and multiplying. The next church begins with yours.
