Start a church

Plant strong. Grow strong. Stay strong. 

Start a new church or multiply your existing church with the collaborative, multicultural movement that’s been helping people meet, know, and follow Jesus since 1852.

Why church planters plant with Converge

Few church plants survive. We’re here to help yours thrive.

Planting a church—or multiplying an existing one—is a great adventure. And the MidAtlantic region needs more churches spreading the good news.

But our region is wide and varied. The right missional model in one neighborhood might not work just a few miles away. How do you get established without making some of the most common errors that limit a church’s lifespan and effectiveness?

Mission > model

When you partner with Converge MidAtlantic, you and your church plant receive access to our coaching, proven systems, resources, and lifelong relationships. 

We work with churches who hold to the authority of Scripture and want to further Jesus’ mission. That means we don’t emphasize a particular model or ask you to agree to theological non-essentials.

Sound like we align with your heart? Let’s talk.
