CHURCH PLANTING | KY MINISTRY NETWORK

We believe that every community deserves a healthy, Spirit-empowered church. Not just any church, but a place of worship that has been adapted to the needs of the community and is led by someone who is passionate about the people who live there.

One size doesn't fit all. We believe God works through a variety of church models. Whether you live in the city, the suburb, or the country, He still wants to work in your community.

Thinking about planting a church? Connect with us. It's our mission to equip, fund, and network leaders in the church with the ultimate goal of multiplying the Kingdom across Kentucky.

Here in the Kentucky Ministry Network, we believe church planting is one of the key components to a healthy and multiplying ministry culture. With several successful church planting examples in recent years, our goal is to develop new congregations throughout Kentucky each year.

Considering Church Planting in Kentucky?

Calling: Some of our most successful church planters are entrepreneurs at heart, with a desire to use their God-given talents for kingdom expansion. Determining how God is leading this journey is key to long-term success.
Connection: Those interested in Church Planting should click here to fill out an application. This application submission will begin a journey of connection with the Kentucky Ministry Network Leadership.
Training: Once our church planting candidates complete our Weekend Assessment, the next step in the process is Church Planter Launch Training. This training is a requirement for all Kentucky church planters. Launch Training is designed to help every planter discover what type of church they will plant, where they will plant when they will launch, why they are planting, and whom they will plant with. Eight times throughout the calendar year Launch Training events are hosted in regional cities such as Washington DC, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Columbus, San Antonio, Springfield, Boston, and Orlando. The planter and spouse can choose whatever Launch Training works best for their calendar. We recommend attending no later than 6 months prior to the launch date. To connect and register for the Next Launch Training click here.
Funding: New church plants can now obtain funding directly from the Kentucky Ministry Network. Funds will be approved and dispersed only by following the guidelines set by the KMN leadership. Click here to fill out a Fund Request Form that will be submitted directly to Pastor Terry Crigger, Church Planting & Revitalization Director.
Support: Here in Kentucky, we are committed to building authentic Christ-centered relationships with our church planters that include connection with district leadership as well as successful church planters within the state.

Target Cities

With over 140 Assembly of God churches in the Kentucky District, there are still areas of our state that are unreached or would benefit from additional new church plants. The three areas of Northern Kentucky, Lexington, and Louisville remain the most densely populated areas where several new churches are warranted.

Listed below are cities with a population that exceeds 20,000.
