September is Church Multiplication Month
Multiplication is more than just planting churches. In the Great Commission, Jesus charges His Church to go and make disciples. Together, disciplemaking and church planting form a powerful force to foster the growth of believers and expansion of God's Kingdom.
This year, The Alliance is celebrating September as a month of multiplication with the theme Now, multiply. Whether it is the focus of your entire service or a 5–10 minute highlight of church planting and multiplication, you can choose any Sunday in September for your church to host Church Planting Sunday.
Below you will find resources to help plan and promote your Church Planting Sunday, including a sermon outline, talking points, a PowerPoint template, social media graphics, and more.


The Alliance is and has always been a church-planting and disciplemaking movement. And multiplication is the most strategic way to fulfill our All of Jesus for All the World vision in our neighborhoods and the nations. God is at work and on the move, and the time is now. to move with Him. Will you join us in sharing the importance of multiplication in fulfilling God’s mission?

Interim Pastor Ministries (IPM)
If your pastor has just resigned, your church is at the threshold of change. There’s an interim or liminal period between now and when your new pastor arrives.
 
Interim Pastor Ministries help supply temporary pastors during times of pastoral transition to strengthen and prepare your church for greater effectiveness when the new pastor arrives.
 
IPM President, Tom Harris, has produced a new 3-minute video with helpful information about IPM.
 
Watch the video here to learn how IPM will further help your church's transition.
