SBC's Send Network launches church planting network

Posted

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The continent’s largest church planting network, the North American Mission Board’s Send Network, has launched NewChurches.com, a comprehensive digital resource hub for church planting.

NewChurches.com is a one-stop destination for all potential church planters, regardless of denomination, that provides reliable, free resources from experts to empower pastors and congregations to plant new churches.

The site features a church planting masterclass that includes video lectures, training and teaching sessions from leaders like Matt Chandler, David Platt, Ed Stetzer and Kathy Litton, as well as articles and blogs, podcasts and e-books. New courses will routinely be developed and added to the list of options, including courses conducted in Spanish.

“Over the last decade, Send Network has become a leader in church planting across North America,” said Dhati Lewis, president at Send Network. “Now, through NewChurches.com, we have the opportunity for our leaders to share what they’ve learned and help mobilize more efforts to plant churches everywhere for everyone.”

Designed for those who have never planted a church and pastors interested in multiplying their community through church planting, NewChurches.com provides a theological understanding of church planting, critical information to consider before moving forward and practical next steps for pastors, lay members and leaders.

“It’s no secret that church planting is tough. Church planters and the pastors of the churches that send them need trustworthy guidance,” said Trevin Wax, vice president of research and resource development at the North American Mission Board. “Our goal at NewChurches.com is to come alongside this group—providing free resources as we convene the foremost experts from across the country to offer new insights and best practices on how to plant and multiply the church.”
