Saturday, December 13, 2008 Even More About ARC

Some other great benefits of partnering with ARC is the networking they can facilitate, both in forming relationships with mentors and other like-minded planters, but also networking for the physical resources we need such as sound systems, children's materials, administration tools, and more.

I mentioned before that ARC has above a 90% success rate in planting churches, where the average church plant survival rate is somewhere in the 60% range. They have now planted 75 churches around the country (see here), and these churches are dedicated to bringing the life-giving message of Jesus to the the unchurched and dechurched in an effective and relevant way.

Two great examples of ARC churches are Seacoast Church and Church of the Highlands who both made Outreach Magazine's Top 100 Fastest Growing Churches in America (see here). In style and approach, these are excellent examples of what Encounter strives to be for this generation in Helena.
