Plant a Church
Our Church Planting Vision
At 12Stone, we believe God is calling us to multiply our impact by raising up and sending out church planters who will reach communities across the nation.
We're looking for qualified planters who share our DNA and passion for reaching the lost, serving the least, and raising up leaders. If you've been sensing God's call to plant a church, we want to walk alongside you in that journey.
