For Sending Churches
Your church was made to multiply
Church planting is not the work of lone planters. It is the work of whole churches. Send Network Iowa connects sending churches to planters across Iowa through four partnership tiers designed for churches of any size.
Partnership Tiers
Four ways your church can partner
Every tier is a genuine partnership. Start where you are. Grow into more.
Intercede
Prayer Partner
The most foundational form of partnership. Commit to pray regularly for Iowa church planters and their communities.
- ›Receive a monthly prayer guide with specific planter requests
- ›Include Iowa planting in your church's weekly prayer rhythms
- ›Pray for specific communities without gospel-centered churches
Give
Supporting Partner
Financial partnership that provides direct resources to planters in the field.
- ›Commit a monthly or annual financial gift to Send Network Iowa
- ›Designate giving to a specific planter or region
- ›Help cover assessment and training costs for new planters
Commission
Sending Partner
A deeper partnership where your church actively commissions a planter from within your congregation.
- ›Identify and encourage a planter from your church family
- ›Walk them through PACE with Send Network Iowa coaching support
- ›Provide spiritual authority and ongoing accountability
Reproduce
Multiplying Partner
The fullest expression of partnership. Your church plants a daughter church in an Iowa community and commits to its growth.
- ›Collaborate with Send Network Iowa to identify a target community
- ›Send a core team to form the nucleus of the new church
- ›Maintain a covenant relationship with the plant for three years
