Empowering Planters from Every Culture for Every Context

The Fuller Church Planting Initiative empowers diverse planters to bring their full selves so that every culture and community has a church that embodies the love and justice of Jesus. We do this by:

• convening diverse church planting network leaders

• creating contextualized training for planters

• catalyzing new church planting networks and movements

Give

"We do not simply wake up one day and decide to plant a church. In response to the call that God has been forming in us over many years (and possibly decades) before we ever considered starting a new church, we then train—much like athletes train—to live into that call."

—Len Tang, Director of the Fuller Church Planting Initiative
