• Welcome to ARC

New to ARC

We are an association of relational churches working with church planters, church leaders, and churches in transition to provide support, guidance and resources to launch and grow life-giving churches.

Launching Life-Giving Churches

While we recognize and celebrate the unique aspects of every church plant, ARC is committed to supporting your success in four foundational ways:

  1. We Help You Start Strong

    We show you how to build your launch team, raise funds, form a worship team, develop your children's ministry and gain momentum – so you can open your doors with excellence. If you start strong, you have a greater chance of growing strong.

  2. We Reach the Unchurched

    With more than 110 million Americans never or rarely attending church, it’s critical that we cross cultural walls to reach the lost. ARC is all about helping churches stay culturally relevant -- characterized by Bible-based teaching, authentic relationships and dynamic family ministries.

  3. We Build Relationships

    Solid relationships are the foundation for growth in any aspect of life. As ARC churches multiply across the country, you’ll join an ever-expanding group of people who are committed to one another’s success.

  4. We Support Financially

    Let’s face it: churches must have money to gain momentum and keep moving in the right direction. ARC will give you the financial push you need to jumpstart your church-planting efforts.
