Converge Great Lakes is a movement of churches working to help people meet, know and follow Jesus. We do this by starting and strengthening churches together worldwide. We’d love to collaborate with you.

Start

Start a new expression of church, or multiply your existing church, with a network that has among the highest success rates in the world (85–90% self-sustaining after five years).

Start a church

Strengthen

Strengthen your church so its pastors, lay leaders, and congregation remain healthy and effective—reaching the lost and raising up disciples.

Send

Reach communities still untouched by the gospel. We provide pathways, partnerships, and a support structure for those called to go and those called to help them.

Let’s see more lives changed 
by the gospel

We invite you to be part of a movement of churches committed to helping more people meet, know and follow Jesus. Start a church, strengthen your church, or send the Good News into the world with us.
