Becoming a Sending Church

Your journey toward becoming a sending church begins here. 

This quick-start guide offers step-by-step instructions to help your church partner with struggling congregations in need of revitalization or replanting. As healthy churches play a vital role in supporting the broader kingdom mission (see Phil. 1:3-5), your church can be a powerful catalyst for bringing new life to dying churches. Prepare to embrace this calling, equip your leaders, and engage in partnerships that reflect Christ’s love for His church, as well as His mission to reach every community.

“Prayer is not a preparation for work; it is work. Prayer is not a preparation for the battle; it is the battle.” - Oswald Chambers

Your renewal journey must be saturated in prayer from beginning to end. As you take each step, remember Psalm 127:1: “Unless the Lord builds a house, its builders labor over it in vain.”
