Church Planting

Are you called to plant a church and seeking support to turn vision into reality?

We are excited to announce that applications are now open for our Church Planting Grant.  This grant is designed to support passionate, mission-driven church planters committed to establishing vibrant, gospel-centered communities.

Crossroads Global Methodist Church of Washington, Illinois is dedicated to equipping leaders and congregations with the tools and resources they need to build vibrant, Christ-centered communities. Whether you are just beginning the journey of church planting or are already in the implementation phase, Crossroads is here to support you. This grant is available to churches both in the United States and abroad.

Crossroads desires to support leaders who have the same theological position as the Global Methodist Church, but it is not limited to churches within the GMC. The church planter will be required to provide their credentials, relevant training, and a detailed church planting plan. This will allow us to fully understand the vision for the ministry and ensure accountability in the use of funding.

Planting a new church is an exiting journey of faith and service.  Together, we can see lives transformed and communities renewed through the power of the gospel.
