Amidst every challenge our world faced this year, the church remained open, alive, and growing. Nothing could stop these couples from following the call of God on their lives and continuing to plant life-giving churches in communities across the nation.
EVERY LAUNCH DAY STARTS WITH A DREAM
2020 End of Year Report
Sixty-five couples went through our ARC Launch Intensive training this year. Thirty-five new churches opened in-person, and another 22 churches opened online – bringing the total number of U.S. churches planted through ARC to 911 churches over the past 20 years. Another six churches were launched through ARC’s Global Networks in 2020. Nearly 12,000 people attended these launch day services, and 522 people gave their lives to Jesus! God is so good! He is faithful to complete that which He started.
Planting or growing a church during a pandemic is no small task. But these churches adapted so quickly. They are innovative, creative, and determined to reach their cities with the message of Jesus.
This year, as an organization, we were able to give $400,000 to churches in need during COVID-19. Many of these are young churches who had either just opened or are only a few years old. We believe this is just the beginning for them. In total, ARC invested several million into church planting* in 2020, thanks to the generosity of the ARC Family.
Thank you for continually supporting these churches with your prayers and your giving. We at ARC are committed to seeing the local church thrive for many years to come.
*This investment includes 2020 launches and year-end funding towards Spring 2021 launches.
