Church Planting Sunday
Each year in September we encourage every church to designate one of the Sunday’s as Church Planting Sunday. We want to keep our eyes focused on God and His mission, and this means globally as well as regionally. To that end The Alliance has made some material available to help promote Church Planting Sunday that can be found below. Additionally, there is a document that can be a catalyst for ideas for how you might come alongside a church plant.
