Path 1 / Church Planting

The Goal of Path 1

A crucial path in making disciples for Christ requires venturing into communities where no vital church exists. It also calls for healthy churches to branch out and assist in planting new ones.

New Church Starts (Path 1) is a team of leaders drawn from national, regional, and local levels of The United Methodist Church whose mission is to train and equip new church planters who will start new congregations throughout the United States.
