Opportunity Details

We have opportunities all across our district along with specific church plant residency opportunities. We are looking for fresh start-ups in targeted areas as well as candidates to serve at a resident church and partner to plant. We desire to see plants for all ethnicities and in multiple languages.

Northern Colorado Residency.

We have a growing, gospel-centered church in northern Colorado desiring to plant a church in a surrounding community.  North Colorado is one of the most rapidly growing areas in the country and presents a great opportunity to reach the lost.  The planter called to this adventure would go through our residency program while partnering with this church to build a team, prepare, and launch a new church.   

Wyoming Residency

We have an opportunity to work with several Wyoming Churches in order to plant a church. The planter would be able to prayerfully choose a community in from various targeted towns.

Called to a specific location in our region? We are equipped to work in communities and start a plant from the ground up. We also are ready to partner with bi-vocational pastors with a vision to reach the community.
