This thrust of SEM is imperative to the scripturality of our ministry.

Planting churches under the authority of a scriptural sending church will be a massive undertaking involving paid staff, volunteers, and sister churches.

The goal is to start one church per year in areas that are needy and far enough away from sound scriptural churches. Church spills will not be undertaken. A suitable and battle-ready preacher will be chosen, giving the young church the funds and impetus to be successful.

The prayerful hope is that these churches will strengthen our outreach and help start future churches.

*“And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.” – Acts 16:5*
