Regional Churches
WHAT IS A REGIONAL CHURCH?
Regional Strategy
North Carolina’s 100 counties are divided into 25 regions. In each region, Carolina Movement will establish a church planting network, led by a part-time regional catalyst. A key regional church will take the lead, supported by sending and stakeholder churches in order to support multiple church plants in the region.

4. Sustainable Church Planting Ecosystem
