Discern Your Calling

Starting something from the ground up can feel daunting, especially when it comes to planting a church.

But what if you could take clear, guided steps toward discerning your calling and making a lasting impact for God’s kingdom?

If you are passionate about:

  • Starting a new work for the glory of God
  • Reaching people who aren't connected to a church
  • Advancing God’s Kingdom in your community
 Church planting might be your calling.

Together on the Journey

Church planting can feel like a leap into the unknown.

 

But at Mission to North America, we’ve helped thousands of church planters navigate the journey, and we are here to help you, too.

"[MNA's church planting process] gave us insights into our own marriage and ministry that will be invaluable as we prepare to launch. It also connected us to the broader community of church planting throughout the PCA, so we left with people in our corner, tools in our tool-belt, and the wind at our backs."
Matthew Terrell
"I left more excited about church planting, and my desire to follow Jesus grew through the experience."
Rob Herron
"For both Mike and I, [MNA's church planting processs] strengthened our sense of calling and gave us more confidence to step and start preparing to plant a church. It also helped us feel more connected to a church planting network and know where and how to get more resources."
Laura Caponigro
“As one who is preparing to plant, the challenge I was facing was to begin developing a notion of what the early stages of church planting are like. I appreciated the experience the facilitators brought to the trainings. And yet they displayed a reliance on God's grace. Anyone considering church planting should attend Multiply. The learning and the fellowship are well worth the experience.”
Merari Herrera
“Seeing the amount of help and support available for those who feel called to plant makes the already daunting process a little less so.”
Samuel Muniz

What’s at stake

 

Every year, churches close their doors, and fewer new ones take their place. Without bold leaders like you to step forward, communities risk losing vital places of worship, outreach, and discipleship.

 

By planting a church, you’re helping to reverse this trend—offering hope, renewal, and the light of Christ to those in need.

 

Are you ready?

 

Church planting is a unique calling that requires both deep spiritual roots and practical readiness.

  • Are you passionate about reaching others for Christ and
    transforming communities?
  • Do you have a clear vision for ministry that inspires others to
    follow?
  • Have others affirmed your gifts for leadership, preaching,
    and evangelism?
  • Are you ready to step into the unknown with faith and
    humility, trusting God to work through you?

If these questions resonate, it may be time to take the next step.
