Current Church Plants

It’s estimated that 30,000 churches across the country will close due to the pandemic. It’s critical that those congregations are replaced with new, Christ centered faith communities. Please choose one or two, and support our new "100 in 10" church planters with prayer, resources and funding.  Take a look at the amount of support still needed.

Battle Mountain Community Church

We are Josh and Carla Taylor and have four sons: Cliff and Nate, who are 26-year-old twins, Ryan, who is 17, and Lane, who is 15. Cliff is married to Nicole; together they have our three-year-old granddaughter, Harley, and are expecting a son due at the end of August 2025. The twins reside in Southwest Nebraska where they support Carla’s family farm/ranch and maintain full-time positions within the agricultural sector. Our younger sons have relocated with us to Baggs, Wyoming, as we undertake the planting of Battle Mountain Community Church.

Both of us were raised in farming and ranching environments and have dedicated our careers to the agricultural industry. Over the past 30 years, Josh's experience has included truck driving, farming, chemical application, rail roading, and, most recently, ranching in the Prairie Center, Wyoming area. Carla’s professional background encompasses roles as a grain accountant, scale operator, farm hand, and truck driver; in 2020, she founded a digital bookkeeping firm serving numerous small businesses.

Since moving to Prairie Center in 2022, Ryan and Lane have been home-educated while gaining hands-on experience in horsemanship, ranching, and hay farming. This past year, they joined the local football team and participated in a youth worship band that leads Wednesday evening services in Lusk, in addition to their involvement on the Sunday morning worship team. From this group, a new ensemble called "For the One" emerged, continuing their passion for leading worship despite no longer residing in Lusk.

Ryan and Lane are enrolled at Little Snake River Valley (LSRV) Schools for the upcoming academic year, with Ryan entering 11th grade and Lane 10th grade. They will also be participating in the school's football program starting Monday, August 18.  (Click the "Learn More" button to read on...)

Over the past three years, we have felt compelled to plant a church, and within the last year, circumstances have enabled us to move to Baggs to establish a new expression of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are eager to integrate into the community, aiming to share the message of Christ across all generations, from elders to young children, ensuring its legacy for the future. Recognizing the need for a faith community in the Little Snake River Valley, which spans over 75 miles and is home to approximately 800 residents, we are responding to a call to serve both existing believers and those seeking faith. “Seeking the lost and feeding the found.”

Josh, an LSRV graduate from 1998, considers Baggs home, having lived in the Valley for 7-8 years. He loves the community. After graduation, a classmate took his own life. While this issue is not unique to the Valley, it is an ongoing concern.  It is one of the reasons he has felt particularly drawn back, to share the hope of Jesus.

Our inaugural vision-casting prayer meeting was held in Baggs on April 13th, attended by 17 individuals. These monthly prayer meetings have continued throughout the summer, providing opportunities to assemble a launch team. In September, we plan to initiate a weekly Bible study to foster relationships with those interested in deepening their spiritual growth. Monthly informational meetings will persist until our launch prayerfully planned at Easter 2026.

The relocation to Baggs in August 2025 allows for our sons’ enrollment at Little Snake River Valley Schools. Josh will serve as a bus driver for daily routes and extracurricular trips within the district, as well as engage in additional work for a former classmate. Carla will continue operating Taylor’d Accounting Services and has accepted a part-time accounting position in Baggs. We are enthusiastic about actively serving the community and cultivating meaningful relationships.

We remain engaged in regional ministry, traveling to churches across Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado on weekends. This serves both to provide Josh with preaching experience and to raise necessary funds for the initial year of Battle Mountain Community Church. Upon the official launch, it is our intention that Josh transitions to focusing solely on his ministerial and transportation responsibilities, supported by a salary from the church.

The Filipino Church - Melbourne, Australia

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

It is with great joy that I share what God is doing through The Filipino Church, Converge Australia—the very first Converge Church in Australia, a nation now home to millions of Filipino migrants. We believe God has called us to this unique mission field, and it is my privilege to invite you to partner with us in advancing His Kingdom here and beyond.

This past year, the Lord has opened incredible doors for ministry—both locally and globally. In Melbourne, we have been serving our community through food support, intercessory prayer, and the message of hope for those struggling with addiction and mental health challenges. By God’s grace, two of our leaders are trained and equipped to minister in this area of need. We’ve also celebrated the beauty of worship through cultural presentations, hosted creative outreach events, and invested deeply in raising up the next generation of leaders. (Click the "Learn More" button to read on...)

But we believe this is only the beginning. In 2025, we are stepping out in faith with bold initiatives:

  • Church Planting in Siquijor, Philippines – Our new church building is under construction, already being used for worship gatherings. We are praying to complete additional facilities, including bathrooms and a dedicated children’s ministry space, as we minister to the many kids on the island who lack access to learning resources.
  • Weekly Café Ministry in Melbourne – A fresh, creative outreach space designed to build relationships and share Christ with our city.
  • Medical, Dental, and Feeding Mission in the Philippines – Serving entire communities in Siquijor and Bulacan with practical care and the love of Christ.
  • Strengthening Youth and Young Adult Ministries – Equipping the next generation to lead with faith, resilience, and passion for the gospel.

These God-sized dreams will require prayer, people, and provision. This is why we are reaching out to you—our partners in the CRM family. Your giving is more than financial support; it is an investment in eternal transformation. Every seed you sow helps us share the gospel, disciple believers, and bring Christ’s light to places near and far.

Together, let’s continue to shine His light in our neighborhoods, our district, and to the ends of the earth.

Thank you for your prayers, your generosity, and your heart for the mission.

For His Kingdom,
Arnold Cubos

Shalom Bridge Congregation

We responded to the call of the LORD to plant a Church in Colorado with a special focus on reaching the Jewish community of Colorado. We have seen many great responses to this mission once arriving here, and our scope of work has enlarged a great deal over the last couple of months.

While in Colorado Springs we worked with a small group that while experiencing small growth, has also sent out leaders and small groups. We now have small congregations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, North Eastern Oregon, and Colorado Springs. We continue outreach to Boulder, Colorado where we hope to establish a once a month Shabbat service. 

 
As many are aware, the Boulder Jewish Community suffered a terrible terrorist attack on June 1. We have many in the area that we are earnestly seeking to learn of their wellbeing. Please, pray with us for the health and safety of the Jewish community in Boulder and throughout Colorado, Texas, and Oregon. We ask that the LORD provide for the needs required to minister to the community in need. Further, we ask that you enjoin the Biblical charge to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Oasis St. George

Greetings from hot & sunny southern Utah!  I am writing this update as we approach our launch Sunday scheduled for September 7, 2025. 

God has been so kind and gracious to our family and ministry as we have faced an incredible number of challenges, especially personally.  Our hope is that as you read this update the Lord would prompt you to pray for us as the battles continue to rage, and yet we walk, knowing that God is faithfully with us every step of the way. 

Ministry:   We began meeting in our home (Oasis Community) in January of 2024, and since that time have had the privilege of baptizing 5 people and seeing a number of people consistently attend our group weekly.  Since many of them either don’t have a church background or are former LDS, we decided to begin a study walking through the story of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation that began in January of 2025.  I don’t think anyone in our group has ever read the entire Bible, and they seemed excited to have a better understanding of the main story from beginning to end. 

It was also during this time that we began praying and discussing, as a group, the possibility of launching public services to reach more people in south St. George.  We ended up deciding in the early part of the year to officially launch on September 7, 2025.  This was on the heels of holding a public “Interest Night” in late October 2024 that gathered about 50 people.  We began meeting as a launch team in January (13 people strong), and we are currently in the midst of a crazy time of preparation, with about 3 weeks to spare.  I think one of the best things I have witnessed is not only seeing our launch team come together and trust the Lord but also witnessing the greater body of Christ come together and supply for our needs pertaining to our Sunday morning services.  (Click "Learn More" to read on...)

God has provided through the Church from all over, and it has increased the faith of our group who so often feel very alone in an area of the country dominated by another faith. 

Our sending church, New Hope Calvary Chapel (Lehi, Utah), has been instrumental in prayer, financial support, accountability, conversations, etc.  A total of 13 other churches from California, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming have also helped us out and we are so grateful for their efforts.  We realize that we are stronger together, and that God accomplishes His work in His way through the greater Body of Christ.  When we launch in September, we fully realize that it has been because of the faithfulness of God experienced through the Church, and we give Him praise for how He moves upon the hearts of people to get involved. 

Not only have we been meeting in our home weekly as a group, but we have also had a number of community outreach events to draw our group closer together in service, and to be a witness of the love that Jesus has for our community.  We have had opportunities to have a “Pick-up along the Parkway” events where we spend part of a Saturday picking up trash in and around our neighborhood.  We always receive a lot of  “thank you’s” on social media from neighbors who have seen our care for the community in this way.  We have also spent a couple of Saturdays deep cleaning a local animal rescue.  There is a couple in our group who volunteers at this facility often, and we have been able to deeply encourage the staff of this organization by simply showing up and cleaning.  We continue to pray about more community outreach events through the contacts of those that attend Oasis regularly.  As we seek to launch in the coming weeks, it is my deep desire to become more active in serving our community so that they can experience the soul-satisfying Living Water of Jesus.    

Personal:  We received some difficult news entering the Fall of 2024 that our daughter’s cancer was back for the second time in less than 5 years.  Having been in remission over the last few years I guess I thought that chapter of her life had closed, but I was wrong.  It was devastating, but through the gracious care of God He provided us with an additional cancer team in Colorado who was instrumental in helping us come up with a possible solution and it worked.  I am happy to report that on Wednesday, July 30th, my daughter experienced a successful surgery that removed her jawbone tumor measuring a little larger than a golf ball.  God is so good, and we are so thankful for every person involved in this success story, whether it was through praying, giving financially to meet the needs of the surgery, checking in to see how Rylea is doing, etc.  I am so thankful to report Rylea is cancer free and currently recovering so well.  There is a 70% chance, now, that this will never return.  Those are positive odds!

My mother, and June’s father, are both going through difficult times physically as they face Parkinson’s disease and Lewy Body dementia.  This has prompted additional trips to see our parents to offer any support that we are able to.  A number of other major challenges have come up in our lives that require attention, and we know that the enemy seeks to discourage and distract us from the calling God has placed on our life.

We would value prayer support as we get closer to the launch of Oasis Church.  It is critical for our group to understand the transition of being an Oasis Community (home group) to becoming Oasis Church.  Please pray for our first few months as a new church is birthed in south St. George where there is such a need for more Christian churches.  Pray for salvations, connections, and tremendous stories of life change.  Pray also for our finances as I quit my job yesterday to solely focus on the start of Oasis Church.  We are trusting the Lord about the timing of this, and if it is necessary I will go back to work part-time, at most, in the Fall if needed.  Lastly, please pray that we would continue to trust God to meet every need His way without us getting in the way.  It can be easy to worry, and it can be easy to want to try and force my own solutions to the problems we face, but God is always faithful at providing in His perfect way for His glory.

We are excited to see what God will do in the desert.  In my experience, it seems as though God does some of His best work in the “wilderness” times of my life, and I certainly read about the same in God’s Word.  My hope is that we will collectively experience this as Oasis Church is planted for such a time as this.  To God be ALL glory!

Oasis - Burns, WY

We celebrated many firsts over the last year and a half. One of those was our first anniversary from the launching in 2024. We are continuing to grow and reach the community and have witnessed God move in indescribable ways in Burns! Between the people we have been able to serve to the opportunities to be involved in the community, God is Good!

We exist to provide an Oasis for our community to find rest and rise up in Jesus Christ. We have seen people come into relationship with Jesus and have seen others recommit their lives to God. We have seen adults and children alike take the next step in their faith by being baptized. And we are committed to helping them all rise up in Jesus. 

One of the things we value is community. Burns and the surrounding area is hungry for a sense of community for our area. We have built that into our weekly routine by intentionally scheduling a time of fellowship before the service. And as a result, before and after most find someone to talk with and share life with. In addition, God has blessed us with several opportunities to build this community in our town :

Burns Community Youth Group: We have been involved with the youth group for the last year and a half. But new for this year was the opportunity to lead the community youth group. We partnered with churches in the community to have a space for the youth and provide meals. It really is a community effort with kids coming from each church.

(Click the "Learn More" button to read on...)

Vacation Bible School: VBS was a hit again. We held a three-day VBS with the last day being a family cookout. It is so fun watching the kids show their parents the dance moves. We had 44 kids and over 70 for the family cookout!       

Back to School: We partnered again with the Lions Club and Josie’s Creamery on back-to-school night. They provided hot dogs and hamburgers. We served the Ice Cream. Through this partnership we were able to serve around 350 students and their families.

Burns Day: Burns day is a growing hit! There are over 20 food trucks, live bands, craft fairs, parades and so much more. We were able to get involved this year by having a float in the parade to promote VBS and we were asked to run the dunk tank. They didn’t mention until after we said yes that that meant getting dunked. But between our mayor, one of our elders and me (Jared), we made the event a splash!

Worship in the Park: The day after Burns day, we held our first worship in the park! We invited the whole community and had 84 people join us on that cool cloudy morning. But the best part was that we baptized 5 people that day! It was an amazing day!

These are just a few small examples of all the ways God is opening doors in Burns, WY. We continue to plug into the school with both Jared and Laurie substitute teaching and Jared driving a school bus and helping with the FCA. Cooper, Luke, and Kaycee are not to be left out of the action, inviting several of their classmates and teachers without prompting.

Thank you for partnering and praying with us. It has been an amazing experience watching and being able to join God in what He is doing in Burns. Your support means more than you know, and your prayers have been felt in ways I cannot explain.

Ways to Pray for Us: 

- For musical help. Specifically, to find someone who can play a guitar 

- That God would continue to provide opportunities to build community in Burns

- For a longer-term answer regarding space (we currently rent our main space hourly one day a week)

- For new relationships throughout the community

New Hope Calvary Chapel

We (David and Katie Elijah) started New Hope because we had a passion to bring people to the Hope that is found in Jesus. We wanted our neighbors, friends, coworkers, and our county to know who Jesus is and what He has done for them.

Lehi, Utah is a city that is 97% Mormon (LDS). According to statistics, this high percentage of unbelievers classifies us as an unchurched area. It is a very difficult place because it is hard to help people understand they’re lost when they believe they have the final word. Our mission is focused on helping them know and understand Grace. Real Grace and the Real Jesus.

And over the last 2 years, we have seen God at work in several ways.  We have seen many come to faith in Jesus! We have seen healing from addiction! We have seen families leave religion and come into a real relationship with Jesus! Just this past year, we have seen 30 baptized at New Hope! We have many going through our discipleship classes as well!   (Click on "Learn More" to read on...)

What are the biggest challenges you are facing right now?

Our biggest challenge right now is financial.  Giving and tithing is slower here due to many feeling lied to most of their lives around this topic. We openly address and teach on this topic in our discipleship program, and we hope to see changed attitudes towards giving in the future.

How can CRM churches pray for you?

Pray for the endurance of our leaders and volunteers as they pour into this community; it weighs heavy spiritually!

Pray for many to be all-in financially, as well, and to take that next step of faith in giving!

What percentage of your support do you still need to raise to be fully funded?

I have finally been able to be paid part-time by the church for the first time! But with that said, we have only raised about 35% of our goal, so we still need around 65% to be fully funded.

Summit 419 Church

What a year it has been for our little church plant in Coalville!  Church planting has proven to be as challenging as advertised, if not more; however, it also has proven to be one of the most beautiful things that we have ever done as a family.  Leaving friends and family to go do something new has been hard, especially since we spent eleven years building relationships with so many amazing people in Centerville, UT.  However, the new connections with people have proven to be God ordained, timely, and truly a blessing from God. Thank you for your continued support in this endeavor.

We wanted to take a minute to update you on the amazing things God is doing.  First, we have had a tremendous showing on Sunday mornings averaging over seventy people in attendance at our 10 AM worship service.  We have an amazing team of volunteers committed to see Christ shared in the North Summit area, and they have created a beautiful environment for people to come connect with Jesus.  Many have expressed how much they are learning about who Jesus is and what the Bible is all about because of our presence in the community.  We have seen one person get baptized and four people give their lives to Christ for the first time.  People are attending from all over Summit and Morgan Counties.  As a matter of fact, God has fulfilled the dream Rose and I had of having at least one family from each city of Croydon, Henefer, Echo, Coalville, Hoytsville, and Wanship.  In addition, we have also had people come from Upton, Evanston, and Park City, as well!  God is doing amazing things on the Wasatch Back!  (Click "Learn More" to read on...)

We also started a youth group with about twenty-five youth who have been growing a ton through their Monday night meetings.  We hosted two home groups (one in Wanship and one in Coalville) that have proven to help people dig deeper into who Jesus is and answer many questions about faith and religion that people have had.  I also have been able to connect with multiple people over coffee at the Mix Place (right on Main Street Coalville).  This has been such a blessing to me.  Vulnerable conversations are taking place and people from all walks of life are seeing marriages restored, addiction overcome, deep sin issues forgiven, and wounds healed.  All these things are because of the power of Jesus’ love for North Summit County and the Holy Spirit using the believers at Summer 419 Church.

This summer we hosted our first Kids Summer Camp on June 23-26 and to our surprise 60 kids registered and 3 made decisions for Jesus.  Afterwards, we even had some local kids start attending church without their parents on Sundays.  Several people in the community expressed how amazing our church is and that they have never seen such a welcoming place for kids and families.

In typical Petersen fashion, we also started a recreational softball team that represents Summit 419 Church in Oakley on Tuesday nights - a fun way to bridge people to discipleship!  All this, and it hasn’t even been a year!  We are excited for what God will do next to expand HIS Kingdom.

Rose, Paityn, Ryker, Keeley, Soren, and I have been through so much and God has taught us a ton about each other, the church, and His grace.  I think our biggest takeaway has been that we don’t have to do everything perfectly to honor Him.  He calls us to be faithful to His mission and even in our mess of a life, He will use it for His glory.  Again, thank you for your support!  Without you Summit 419 Church wouldn’t be around.  You are a blessing.  We love you all!  Give me a call, come check us out, keep praying for our church, and know how much you are appreciated!

Grace Hills

Grace Hills Community Church exists to help all people discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus. We believe that God has placed us here for a purpose—to flip the script in the foothills. In a world where many feel disconnected, discouraged, and uncertain about faith, we want to change the narrative by offering hope, truth, and authentic community rooted in the gospel.

This year, we have seen God move in incredible ways. Already, 17 people have taken the life-changing step of baptism, publicly declaring their faith in Jesus Christ. Each story is a testimony to God’s transforming grace and a reminder that His work is far from finished here in our community.

We are also celebrating a major milestone in the life of Grace Hills. After two and a half years of God’s faithfulness and your generous partnership, we are now self-governing as a church and on pace to be fully self-supporting financially by the end of the year. This step marks a new chapter in our mission and ministry, and we are deeply grateful for every prayer, gift, and word of encouragement that has helped us reach this point. (Click "Learn More" to read on...)

As our church family grows, so does our opportunity to reach more people. In October, we are taking a bold step forward by launching a second worship service. This will create more space for guests, allow us to better serve families, and give more people the chance to experience life-giving worship, biblical teaching, and the life-transforming message of Jesus.

We know that none of this is possible without prayer. We ask you to join us in lifting up Grace Hills Community Church before the Lord—praying that He would strengthen our leaders, protect our unity, and guide our steps, in Indian Hills and beyond. Together, let’s believe for more lives changed, more hope restored, and more stories rewritten by the power of Jesus.

Let’s keep flipping the script in the foothills—one life at a time.

Neighborhood Church

Neighborhood Church exists to lead our neighbors to life-changing relationships with Jesus. This past year, we’ve been intentional about building relationships with our neighbors, our community, and within the church body.

We live in a culture we call the “keep-it-together culture” of Utah—where people feel pressure to measure up, hide their struggles, and seek fulfillment in all the wrong places. Utah has some of the nation’s highest rates of pornography consumption, opioid abuse, and teen suicide. Our heart breaks for this reality, and we are here to help people searching for life find it in Jesus.

2025 Summer Highlights

●      Baptism Celebration (May) - Cheryl’s baptism was a beautiful start to the summer—filled with tears of joy. Praise God for Cheryl and the people who pointed her to Jesus.

●      Kids Camp (June) - Partnered with The Front Church to welcome 183 kids from our community. 35 kids invited Jesus into their lives for the first time.

●      Summer Food Truck Nights - Neighbors gathered at the park for simple, meaningful dinners that strengthened friendships and opened doors for gospel conversations.

●      Backyard Movie Night (August) - A summer wrap-up event with dinner, family fun, and a movie under the stars. Two families who don’t typically attend church events joined us—seeds planted!

●      DCFS Clothing Drive - Stocked the resource closet for Utah’s Division of Child and Family Services, providing essentials for kids in crisis.

Prayer Requests

  • People – For people who are ready to join the mission, for people who are reaching to grow in their faith journey, and for people who are seeking to find a life-changing relationship with Jesus.

 

  • Place – That God would provide a permanent building to serve as both a community center (housing multiple non-profits) and a church home. We long to see a space that can be used to serve the community throughout the week and not just Sunday

 

  • Lighting Equipment – To make our Sunday gathering space feel warm and inviting instead of just a gym.

 

  • Each One Seek One – That trust and relationships would deepen with our ONEs, and that God would spark a gospel movement in Herriman, Utah like never before.

 

  • Neighborhood Kids – For God to capture young hearts, and a passionate leader for our kid’s ministry.

 

  • Advantage Arts Academy – Continued favor and strong partnership with the school where we meet.

 

  • Vision/Mission Trips – For more opportunities to welcome teams who want to experience Utah culture firsthand, and for our 2026 Kids Camp mission trip to be a powerful chance to serve.

 

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate what God has done, we’re praying for even more in the year to come—more relationships, more gospel opportunities, and more lives changed by Jesus. Thank you for praying, giving, and joining us on mission in Utah.

The Front Church

In the past 4 months – the summer months - we’ve had more 1st time guests than in the past two years 🤯. God is at work! This past June, we partnered with Neighborhood Church and had a record-breaking 187 kids attend our Kids Camp (VBS). Half of them were from Latter-day Saint households, and 35 kiddos said they were inviting Jesus into their lives.

We’ve also had 20 adults in 2025 say they are inviting Jesus into their lives. On Christmas Eve 2024, we had a joint service with Neighborhood Church with hardly an empty seat in the house – nearly 200 people! God is on the move among Latter-day Saints and former Latter-day Saints.

We’ve also taken a big growth step and for the first time in our history, the people of The Front Church are out-giving our gospel partners from outside The Front Church – praise God! 

2025 has not been without its challenges.  We’ve been settling into our new location, but moving always takes its toll! The good news? Our new space is a church planter’s dream come true.  I’m not sure there’s a better space to rent in the entire Salt Lake Valley, and it’s a ½ mile from our first location. God provides!

(Click the "Learn More" button to read on...)

Join Us In Prayer

We are praying that first-time guests will get connected in community.

We are praying for baptisms – like a set of dominos that a kid sets up, knocks the first one down, and the chain reaction takes down the rest – that someone will take the plunge and a myriad of baptisms will follow. So many people are considering baptism or right on the edge of Christian faith. Pray with us!

We are praying we continue to move closer to financial self-sufficiency. It is tough for someone who is formerly a Latter-day Saint to give financially; it takes time and trust. If we are successfully reaching Latter-day Saints, financial self-sustainability will take time, but we will get there.

We are praying for God’s miraculous and permanent provision of a building. Until we have a church building of our own, our neighbors will look on us with a bit of suspicion. “Oh, you’re a church, without a building?”

Utah is a uniquely challenging place, and not just religiously. The real estate market makes Utah one of the most expensive places to purchase land, a home, or a worship space. For perspective: In Euless, TX (Metro Dallas), their population is 60,000. They have 50+ protestant churches, each who own their building. In Bluffdale, UT, positioned in what will be the fastest growing area of the Salt Lake Valley in the next 15 years, we have 20,000 people, and 2 protestant churches, 1 of which owns a building. Our neighbor city, Herriman, has 62,600 people, 4 protestant churches, none that own buildings. South Jordan, UT, just to our north, has 88,900 people, 5 protestant churches, and only 1 that owns their building. The population of the Salt Lake Valley is over 1,000,000, with *very few* protestant churches, and *even fewer* who own their own building.

This is the type of miracle we are praying for and believing for. We want a building that will be a historic Christian presence in the Salt Lake Valley for generations to come and an incubator of Christian faith, Christian churches, and future church planters to spread out all over the state of Utah, the most religious, yet least Christian state, in the country.

We are praying for a move of God, and for our generous God to move through His generous people! Building a modest and usable building could be around $5,000,000. Purchasing and re-outfitting a modest and usable building could be around $3,000,000. And these costs are not going to go down.

Recently, a church plant in the Salt Lake Valley was facing another relocation – a common story of church plants who need to rent their space. This would have been their 4th relocation in their 7 years since launching, and they were facing the very real possibility that this might be the end. Their pastor was tired; their people were tired. The pastor shared this with a few trusted people who had helped see this church plant through financially. After sharing the situation, someone reached out to him with a $2,000,000 donation, and another $1,000,000 to finance building renovations. They were able to purchase, and are now renovating, a former event space for their church, praise God! They will be around for years to come! This is the type of miracle we are praying for.

The soil is softer than it ever has been, and God is on the move! What an exciting thing to partner in ministry together!

Neal and Deb Hughes are our CRM Wyoming planting catalysts. They will go into a community and gather a group of people for Bible study. When that group is growing spiritually, has a good understanding of the church's vision and has collected a viable number of participants, Neal and Deb will entrust the group to a planter and move on to a new town to start the process again. Where and how often they move is all up to the leading of the Holy Spirit! Oh and did we mention, they will be living in their 26’ camper! Here is their request, please be in prayer for their journey as they seek out sites for new churches.
