Welcome to greatchurchplants.com.

We’ve had the privilege to be involved in the church planting endeavor for a number of years now…and it seems that a frequent question that is asked of me goes something like this, ”We’d really like to partner with you in church planting, but we don’t think we’re ready to plant a church by ourselves. Is there anything else we can do?” The answer is yes!!! It is our desire that every SWCBA church gets involved in Church Planting in the region. My goal for SWCBA is for all of our churches to adopt at least 1 of 21 possible areas to participate in Church Planting with us. I have listed my “21 Ways to Partner in Church Planting.” I would like YOU to ask yourself, “how will I get involved.”

Here are the “21 Ways…”

1. Prayer Chain
2. Regular Updates in Church Bulletin
3. Prayer Walks
4. Prayer Meetings for Church Planting
5. Baby Showers
