sending churches
A sending church is a local church that supports and sends members to start or expand a ministry or mission elsewhere, such as planting a new church, supporting missionaries, or developing outreach efforts. It provides spiritual encouragement, prayer, and often financial or logistical support to those embarking on a new mission. The sending church plays a vital role in equipping and affirming those who are called to serve beyond its immediate community, fostering a partnership that advances the broader mission of the church worldwide.
