Church Planting

Making An Eternal Impact For The Kingdom

Plant Churches / Transform Communities / Change Lives

Churches are the heartbeat of spiritual growth, discipleship, and community transformation. Church planting is the powerful process through which the Gospel reaches new people, makes disciples, and establishes life-changing faith communities. If you feel called to plant a new church, we are here to equip and support you every step of the way.

Why Church Planting?

Church planting is about more than just starting a building—it’s about creating a living, thriving community that spreads the Gospel and transforms lives. At Greater Wisconsin Baptist Association, we believe church planting is one of the most impactful ways to fulfill the Great Commission and see lasting change in our communities.

By planting churches, we:

Expand the reach of the Gospel into new neighborhoods.

Create vibrant communities that lead people to faith & discipleship.

Develop leaders who multiply their impact through new ministries.

Engaging the community with the Gospel through strategic outreach and relationship-building.

Multiplying leaders who can reach more communities, plant more churches, and disciple more people.
