We’ve all heard the statistics. And what the statistics are telling us is that beneath the surface of appearances, a majority of pastors are hurting and discouraged.

church planting in arizona

If God is calling you to plant a church but you’re not sure where, then you need to consider Vision Arizona. Vision Arizona is a movement of Arizona churches that strategically envision, establish, equip, and empower church planters in the church planting movement of Converge Worldwide.

We are church planters who, together, plant church planting churches. We remain open to current church planting models, for example, missional, attractional, cultural, urban and suburban, as well as other multiplication methods, for example, parenting, partnering, pioneering, multi-site, satellite, franchising and network churches. All of our church planters are recruited, pre-assessed, approved, assessed, trained (including internships), coached and funded.

Why church plant with Vision Arizona?

1. A proven track record of planting successful churches will allow you to learn from the mistakes and success of others who have gone before you.

2. Effective assessment and training will prepare you for the future.

3. Funding will help give you the resources and tools you need to turn vision into reality.

4. Ongoing coaching and development so you won’t be alone.

Proven Population Growth

Among the 50 states and District of Columbia, Arizona’s percentage of population gain from 1990 to 2000 is approximately 40 percent, and has grown approximately 14 percent from 2000 to 2005.

Expected Population Growth

Arizona had a population of 5.13 million people in 2000. The state ranked as the 20th most populous that year. By 2015, Arizona is projected to be the 13th most populous state with 7.5 million people and by 2030 it is projected to be the 10th most populous state with 10.7 million people.
