Church Planting Networks Wanted
September 1st, 2006
Donate Church seeks active church planting networks to partner with. Our goal is to help connect dying churches with church planters to (1) assist in replanting the church or (2) to allow the church to close and use the resources for the Kingdom and fund new church plants.
Donate Church Group

DonateChurch.com is a project to take dying churches who see the vision of re-planting their dying church to help start a new church plant. These churches believe the gospel needs continue to the generations to come. Like the parable of the mustard seed, they willingly die in order that new life may come.
Recent American church statistics show:
· In America, 3500 – 4000 churches close their doors each year
· Half of all churches last year did not add one new member through conversion growth
· Churches lose an estimated 2,765,000 people each year to nominalism and secularism
· Approximately 98 million people are under the age of 25 in the United States, and those between the ages of 18 and 25 are the least likely to attend a church
