Church Planting

Harvest Impact Ministries is committed to the health and growth of local churches. With that in mind, we have a special focus on training and supporting those who are called to plant new churches.

Why Start a New Church?

Church planting is the New Testament pattern for effective evangelism. It is the single most effective tool for making disciples in our cities and around the world. Every new church planted represents another opportunity to preach the Gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit to those who may not have heard before, or don't yet have a relationship with God.

Church planting IS the heartbeat of God!

Get Started.

If you are interested in church planting, and God has called you to this ministry, there are several things we have prepared to help you find success in your new church. Know this, church planting is NOT for the faint of heart. It is for those who know both WHO they are in God, and WHERE they are going in God.

As a church planter, we will help you through the following.
