Since 2010, Southern Baptists have planted more than 11,000 churches all across North America.
We believe church planting is God's tool for the expansion of His kingdom.
Christianity is declining in North America. To reverse this trend and join in God's work of expanding His kingdom, we embrace the Missionary Task:
Engage the city with the gospel. Make disciples. Plant a church.
As new churches dedicated to multiplication are born, disciples are equipped and sent out to bring gospel hope to more cities, multiply more disciples, and see Jesus grow His Church.
Church planting isn't just a ministry for individual planters. It's a ministry for the whole Church — corporately and globally. At Send Network, we value:
- Seek first the kingdom
God is at work locally and globally. - Deepen devotion
Without prayer and the Word, we are powerless. - Stick together
We are a family united by a mission. - Think multiplication
God’s global mission demands disciples and churches that multiply. - Engage your city
The gospel changes lives, families and communities.
11,000+ churches planted since 2010
80%+ of church plants thrive past four years
11% of all SBC churches are Send Network churches
18% of all SBC baptisms are from churches planted since 2010
