A calling shared. A church taking root.
From discerning a call to sustaining a new congregation, church planting grows through the partnership of leaders, local churches, and presbyteries.

SWCPN helps connect prospective planters with local churches, formation, assessment, and opportunities to serve. Our developing residency pathway offers a vision for preparation through mentoring and real ministry experience.

Planter care
Support for the long work.
Healthy churches need healthy leaders. Prayer, peer relationships, coaching, and shared learning help planters stay connected through the demands of starting a congregation.
Our vision is a network where planters are known, encouraged, equipped, and cared for beyond a church’s launch. Explore training and development or ask about current support.
Sending churches
Whom can we send?
Church planting flourishes when congregations identify leaders, prepare them intentionally, and release them generously. Sending churches remain partners through prayer, relationships, practical help, and support.
Whether your church is exploring its first partnership or preparing to send again, talk with SWCPN about the next step.
