“The Most Fun You Can Have Planting Churches!”
Church Planting is the most effective method of evangelism. We shouldn’t just plant churches for the sake of planting churches. We plant churches to help lost sons and daughters across North Carolina come home to their Heavenly Father and a church family.
Join us on May 7 & 8, as leaders from across North Carolina come together for our annual two-day gathering in Greensboro, North Carolina. We will learn how we can work together to see a church planting movement in NC as we help every church become a church planting church! We will also cultivate life changing relationships as we have a ton of fun together!
