312 Church planting goal
Our communities need more gospel-centered, community-reaching, Bible-preaching, multiplication-minded churches. Converge’s 10 districts have committed to deploying 312 church planters before 2026. If each of those church planters starts a congregation that grows to just 200 people, at least 62,000 people will be impacted with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
You are helping make this a reality. Thank you for being part of helping people meet, know and follow Jesus as we start and strengthen churches together worldwide.

Pay

Plant
Plant a church. If you’ve already planted a church, plant more churches.
Church planting weekend
This annual movement-wide celebration focuses on church planting during the first weekend of June. We are asking every Converge church to take the weekend services to share with their congregations about church planting and multiplication—what it is, why it’s important and why the church is involved.
