🌱 YOU’RE INVITED: CHURCH PLANTING 101 🌱

Have you ever felt a stirring to start something new?

Maybe you’ve sensed a call to plant a church, launch a new ministry, or help create a community where people can encounter Jesus and find a place to belong.

Church Planting 101 is an opportunity to take that next step.

Join us for a practical and encouraging time designed for those who are curious about church planting, exploring a call to plant, or already dreaming about what God might want to start through them.

We’ll talk about the foundations of church planting, what it takes to get started, and the journey from an initial idea to a thriving, multiplying church community.

Whether you’re just beginning to ask questions or already have a vision taking shape, you have a place at the table.

📅 Wednesday, October 7, 2026
🕰️ 9:00 am to 4:30 pm
📍 Bethany Puyallup
Speaker: Chris Highfill

Come with your questions.
Come with your ideas.
Come ready to learn.
Come ready to connect with others who are exploring the same journey.

Your next step might begin with one conversation.

🌱 Church Planting 101
Explore the call. Learn the foundations. Take the next step.

✨ YOU’RE INVITED TO CONNECT 2026! ✨

We believe something powerful happens when people come together.

When we take time to connect, encourage one another, share our stories, build relationships, and make room for someone new, the impact can reach far beyond what we could accomplish alone.

That’s why we’re excited to invite you to CONNECT 2026—a one-day conference centered around our theme:

+ONE

Who is the +ONE in your life?

The person you could invite.
The person you could encourage.
The person who needs a place to belong.
The person who might discover a new connection, a new opportunity, or a renewed sense of purpose simply because you made room for them.

+ONE is about believing that one more person matters. One more relationship can make a difference. One more connection can create greater impact.

Come expecting a day filled with connection, inspiration, encouragement, and community. Come ready to meet new people, strengthen existing relationships, and discover what can happen when we choose to do more—together.

There’s room for you—and there’s room for your +ONE.

📣 New Update‼️

Join us for a one-day seminar with Gary Rohrmayer, President of Axelerate, on Thursday, November 5, from 9 am to 5 pm.
