Fund for Church Planting

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18–20

Since our founding as a diocese in the Anglican Church in North America, the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic has partnered with local congregations, lay groups and clergy to plant new churches throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

We have had an exciting few years! Since 2021, the diocese has helped plant ten new churches:

Looking ahead. Our goal is to plant two new churches every year and to fund at least two church planting residencies each year. In 2027 that begins with new plants in Washington, DC and Fredericksburg, VA, with Virginia Beach and a second Washington, DC plant in view for 2028.

How the fund helps. The Church Planting Fund supports new churches with:

  • three-year planting grants

  • staffing grants

  • church planting residencies

  • assessment, training and coaching

  • back office support

Each planter also raises support from partner churches and individuals.
Give to the Church Planting Fund. Each year the diocese seeks to raise $300,000 for church planting. Your gift helps plant new churches across the Mid-Atlantic.

“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.”
