We Need Church Planters In The Bay Area
You Can Help Us Meet The Need
The Bay Area is one of the most religiously diverse cities in the United States, with many different Christian denominations represented. However, church attendance has been declining. In the last several years, only about 39% of adults in the Bay Area reported attending religious services once a week or more, down from 51% just a few years earlier.
At the same time, the population of the Bay Area is growing. It is estimated that by 2040, the population will grow to 9.3M residents. This presents both a need and an opportunity for new church plants to reach more people.
World Impact Church Plants Reach Under-Resourced Communities

You Can Accelerate Church Plants In The Bay Area
Recent reports suggest that the Bay Area would need approximately 1,672 new churches to reach the national average of churches per capita. This indicates that the number of church plants in the area may be lower than the national average. World Impact wants to plant more churches in this area and remove barriers that hold many potential planters back from fulfilling their calling.
With increased support and training, the vision is to commission 100 new church plants across the Bay Area by 2030.
Will you help train church planters and accelerate the health of the Bay Area and beyond?
