CHURCH PLANTING GUIDE
Church planting with Converge Heartland was often the fuel that kept our church planting fire burning. It has been a real gift to not only have district staff who believed in our mission and calling to the community, but to have regional pastors and congregations surround us and encourage us along the way has been proven to be invaluable.
