ARC Family, 

We want to celebrate the incredible things your support has made possible this year. Thanks to your prayers, generosity, and partnership, 35 new churches were planted in 2024, bringing the total number of ARC churches to a miraculous 1,132.

On launch days alone, we saw 13,781 people in attendance, and 890 of those people decided to follow Jesus. These new churches are becoming beacons of hope, shining the love of Jesus and transforming lives across cities and communities.

That’s why ARC’s work is crucial; your support drives real growth. We are so encouraged to see launch day attendance is up 27% year-over-year and a remarkable 84% above the all-time average.

There’s still so much more work to be done. In the U.S., the need for church planting is greater than ever. In the last few years, more churches have closed than opened —a gap we must address if we’re going to reach more communities with the Gospel. The number of church plants must double or even triple to meet the growing demand.

We’ve equipped and empowered more than 475 church planters through five dynamic training events this year, preparing them to launch life-giving churches across the U.S. and beyond. These trainings aren’t just events—they’re transformational moments where future pastors receive the wisdom, coaching, and inspiration they need to lead thriving, impactful churches.

Launch application interest has surged by 72% following this year’s launch training events, showing that more and more leaders are stepping up to answer the call. We currently have 91 couples actively in the launch process, preparing to plant new churches. We believe these numbers are a glimpse of current and future lives transformed, hope restored, and communities impacted through the churches we launch.

Hear directly from just one of our church planters this year, Hollis and Elise Thomas. They planted One City Church in Spring Hill, TN, in Jan. 2024.

Thanks to your giving, we have increased our pre-launch funding from $50,000 to $100,000 invested into each church plant. 82% of ARC’s spending goes toward launching, connecting, and equipping the local church. 

We can’t thank you enough. Your bold faith, radical generosity, and trust have made a real impact—one you may not always see firsthand, but we hope these stories and numbers show just how significant it is. Thank you for making this mission possible! We’re committed to spreading the Good News in every city and state we can, and we know 2025 will be even greater because of you. God bless you!
