16 pastors, 1 consuming goal: start 50 new flagship churches in the most unchurched cities in America in the next 5 years.

Already launched 50 together in the last 20 years. By year 25, that’ll make 100.

*if your church wants to get in on helping make this happen, @ me

Few things about Strategic Launch:

1) every church wants to plant churches, but half of them fail and churches don’t wanna waste $. SLN has a 96% success rate.

2) SLN doesn’t just plant churches, they plant and coach *flagship* churches — planters that can build churches of a size to establish a beachhead in a city that will lead to more churches planted there.

Current avg size of SLN plants = 650

3) We love that churches are being planted in Alabama, TX, TN, etc, but that’s not where SLN targets. We plant in secular urban centers - San Fran, Boston, NYC, DC, Portland, etc

4) SLN board churches cover all admin costs, so when a church gives part of missions budget to plant churches through SLN, 100% of dollars go to church plants, 0% to overhead

5) SLN connects your church with direct communication from planters you can use in services to cast vision, which helps increase generosity in your church

6) SLN doesn’t just help pastors PLANT churches. We coach them in perpetuity to GROW their churches, which is why SLN churches are as large as they’ve become.

SUMMARY: personal opinion, your church is crazy not to invest in planting churches through SLN, I think it’s the best “kingdom ROI” investment out there

@ or DM me if your church wants to talk about planting churches through SLN
