Church planting is at the heart of the Antioch Network’s vision to see gospel-centred communities multiplied across the UK. As a movement rooted in Acts 13, Antioch Network believes that planting new churches is not just a strategy, but an essential expression of Christ’s Great Commission. “We’re committed to seeing healthy, missional churches established in towns, cities, and communities that need the hope of the gospel,” says the Antioch leadership team.
The Network supports local leaders and church planters with training, coaching, and resources, fostering collaboration and accountability among like-minded churches. Through this relational approach, Antioch Network encourages a spirit of unity as new congregations are birthed, equipped, and sent to serve their local neighbourhoods. Church planting, the Network says, is vital for reaching new people, revitalising faith, and sustaining long-term gospel impact. By cultivating leaders who are passionate about the gospel, reliant on prayer, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, Antioch Network seeks to see a multiplication of churches that are committed to serving, loving, and transforming their communities.
Interested in church planting, either as a future leader or as part of a church planting team? If so, why not join the “REAP” online Church Planting Course, which starts on 8th September and is run by Antioch Network Manchester.
