About

Path1 New Church Starts is the denominational church-planting movement encompassing national, regional and local levels of The United Methodist Church. We provide collaborative leadership to re-evangelize the United States so that we might reach more people, more young people, and more diverse people for Christ by creating new places for new people. Path 1 seeks to cultivate the leaders, develop the systems and implement the strategies necessary to regain our healthy denominational habit of starting one new church a day.

What's Important To Us

• The model of Jesus’ ministry and focus (Matthew 9:35-38).
• It’s not about us or our institutions, but about building God’s kingdom (Matthew 28:18-20 and 22:37-39).
• Being faithful results in being fruitful (Matthew 25:14-30).
• Our Annual Conferences and their congregations must reflect the diversity that makes up the kingdom of God (Acts 2:1-14).
• Different points of view and“both-and” solutions create more possibilities. There is no one-size fits all solution.
• Partnering with all United Methodist persons and groups that want to be a part of the new church start movement (I Corinthians 12:12-27, Romans 12:4-8).
