Church planting
Churches planting churches that plant churches.
We believe planting churches is the most effective way to reach people who are far from God. We were planted. We’ve planted. We’re not done.
Mark Atrip of Movement Church prays over Joel and Morgan Trainer as Movement Church sends them out to launch Three Creeks Church.

The residency
Think you might be a church planter?
Three Creeks prepares future planters through a Church Planting Residency — real ministry, real coaching, and a front-row seat to how a young church actually runs, before you launch your own.
Learn it inside a working church
Not planting in theory. You’re here on Sundays and in the meetings during the week, while the church is still young enough to watch it work.
Launch with a family behind you
Nobody on the tree above went out alone. Every one of those churches launched with people, prayer and support from the one before it.
