As part of our church’s mission to be a force for good, we want to be a church who plants other disciple-making churches across our nation and around the globe. Here are the tangible steps we are taking to make this vision a reality.

What are the Focus Areas and how were they chosen?

The North American Mission Board has identified 35 focus areas in the United States and Canada with great kingdom potential. These cities have high population densities and diversity but maintain a low ratio of churches to people. (1:6,198 – Ratio of Southern Baptist Congregations to population in North America)

Church Planting Cohort

Long Hollow offers a year-long church planting cohort from January - December, designed to help planters launch healthy churches. The cohort is packed with resources and training, both online and on site, to give planters the content and exposure for a well-rounded learning experience. If you are interested in this cohort, please contact our Sending Pastor, TJ Joy, at tj.joy@longhollow.com.

Ways to Get Involved in Church Planting at Long Hollow

At Long Hollow, we want members to take part in the church planting process. There are many ways you can get involved, including prayer, going on trips, joining a church plant team, or even becoming a church planter. In addition, we know healthy churches are planted by healthy church planting couples. Long Hollow provides care for our church planters across North America through WRAP Teams and by taking trips to encourage pastors and their families. Email our Sending Pastor, TJ Joy, at tj.joy@longhollow.com to learn more about how you can take part in providing vital care to our existing church plants and instrumental help for our future church plants.
