Harbor Network Sunday
A network-wide celebration of church launching, renewal, and multiplication
To help share the vision of how God can work through your church in this way, you are invited to join churches from across the network for Harbor Network Sunday. This time of celebration and inspiration is specifically designed to ignite in your people a passion for launching and multiplying thriving churches so that more people in more places can experience life-changing renewal that comes only through Jesus Christ.
How can we participate?

SHORTER VERSION:
Every person and every community need a church. But even in the United States, many people have never heard of God’s love for them and have nobody to tell them. Launching new churches is one of the best ways to make sure people can meet, know and follow Jesus. Join us on [DATE] for Harbor Network Sunday [or Church Planting Sunday] as we discuss how God can use us through church planting.
LONGER VERSION:
Did you know that with 200 million people who do not attend church and have no knowledge of the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ, the United States is one of the world’s four largest unchurched nations? When Jesus said to go into all the world and share the gospel, that included going across the street, into nearby communities or even around the world.
One of the best ways to reach others with the gospel is to launch new churches. We’ll talk about our church’s role in spreading the gospel through church planting during our worship services on [DATE]. It’s going to be a great day, and we’re excited to worship with you on Harbor Network Sunday [or Church Planting Sunday].
