Passion4Planting

Passion for Planting is a not-for-profit church planting support ministry started in 2002 by a group of church planters from New Life Christian Church in Centreville, Virginia. New Life was started as a church planting church, and, through God's blessing, we have helped start many additional growing churches. In 2002, our vision was to help start one new church every year and to be actively working with at least 4 church planters at any given time. Through God's blessing, we've helped over 100 new churches. Passion for Planting is an outgrowth of our local church experience and our passion to help start healthy new churches.  Passion4Planting has also launched other resource ministries for church planting such as the ones listed below.

Giving Rocket

In these economic times it can be difficult for your congregations to continue to be faithful in giving tithes and offerings.  Giving Rocket provides a resource to all it's members that helps them encourage their congregations to remain committed in this area.  The site is very clear that it is not intended for Capital Campaigns but many of the principles can be applied.  The site comes complete with coaching for pastors as well as pre-made email campaigns to your giving families and messages about giving.  The down side is the cost.  The site is a membership based service starting at around 100 dollars a month.  In reviewing the site I found that you can obtain many of the resources/training for free as long as you are willing to do some leg-work.  If you would like to check out the site (which I do recommend) you can visit them at www.givingrocket.com.

Church Online Platform

The creators of Youversion, churchmetrics, videoteaching, swerve and open.lifechurch are doing it again.  Lifechurch.tv out of Oklahoma (Pastor Criag Groeschel) is releasing a new resource that will help churches create a presence on the internet that will show their worship services and help connect believers and create community.  The site went live recently and you can check it out here.
