As passionate as we are about starting new churches, we realize that church planting is not the responsibility of the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions. We can encourage, assess, train, coach and equip those who are planting churches, but churches plant churches.
New church plants that have a healthy relationship with a partner church have a higher success rate. In addition, the partnering church models for the church plant what it looks like to be focused on the Kingdom – a great example for a young church.
If you need training for planting or partnering, contact Brian Haper.
