Sending Church Partners – In this partnership, the existing pastor and church raises up or adopts the church planter and the subsequent church plant as part of their own congregation, assisting them for approximately five years as they develop from a core team to a self-sustaining multiplying church.

Sponsoring Church Partners – This collaboration is characterized by an existing church coming alongside a church plant to pray intentionally, provide resources (one-time or on-going), and/or personnel (short term mission teams or long term church plant team members). Each church plant needs many supporting church partners! Regardless of size or demographic, each supporting church brings unique strengths that will assist a church plant gather, launch, and grow to serve their community.
