The Importance of New Church Starts
In 1980, the Central Texas Conference began a concentrated effort to plant new churches in order to introduce new people to Christ's love. Since that time, we have planted more than 40 churches! These churches now account for more than 10% of the current worship attendance within our Conference.

The Center for Evangelism and Church Growth continues to create new communities of faith which invite new people to experience God’s grace. We are spreading the Good News in new ways as we create "New Faith Communities."
