Why Plant with Acts 29?

The call to make disciples is answered most effectively through gospel-centered churches. We support church planters and their families with effective tools, deep relationships, and sage guidance to help your church grow, thrive and glorify God.

What’s Involved

Our four-stage assessment process is the primary way we help potential planters determine their readiness to plant a church. After the initial application, online assignments, and a phone interview, a planter/pastor and his wife are invited to attend an assessment conference.

Is Acts 29 for You?

Church planting is a challenging but rewarding task, and not everyone is called to it. We help potential planters, existing pastors, and interested church leaders explore church planting and set them up on a stage-appropriate track.

Competencies

Acts 29 has identified 11 core competencies essential to planting a church. These will help you answer the big question: am I a church planter?
