JOIN US FOR THE INAUGURAL
BLACK CHURCH PLANTING SUMMIT

October 28th - 30th, 2025 | Castro Valley, CA

in person or online

The Black Church Planting Summit is convening Black planters and leaders to build relationships and collaborate on starting hundreds of healthy, reproducing churches. Too often church planters feel they need to leave the Black Church and get trained in majority culture spaces that don’t recognize their needs and gifts. Together, we can release younger leaders and train them to integrate the rich heritage of the Black Church with pioneering new ways of reaching the next generation. Join us for a rich time of fellowship and Kingdom partnership !
