02 · Quarterly Updates

Catch up on what our Church Planters have been up to.

God is at work across the FEB Central region among our church plants as they find ways to get the gospel out to their communities and make new disciples of Jesus. Want to catch up on what our Church Planters have been up to? Check out our Church Planting Updates!

03 · By the Numbers

Baptisms, small groups, and signs of gospel life across our plants.

The health of our church plants is evident in lives being transformed—through new believers, public declarations of knowing Christ through baptism, and small groups where believers grow in community and discipleship. Together, these elements reflect the overall health of our church plants in 2025 and we praise God for his faithfulness.

05 · Becoming a Partner Church

Parent a church plant.

We encourage every church to get involved with church planting. One of the best ways to do this is to parent a church plant. Church planting is a risky business, but experience shows that when a qualified Church Planter is fitted with a supportive church as the parent, the likelihood of success is greatly enhanced. We invite you into partnership because we believe that it's biblical, historical, and strategic to do so. We wholeheartedly embrace the importance of kingdom partnerships.
