Our story
One Thousand Churches began with a simple conviction: that a healthy, local church can change everything for a community.
What started as a handful of friends supporting a single church plant has grown into a movement with one audacious goal — to help plant and strengthen one thousand churches in the places that need them most.
We don't parachute in with a blueprint. Instead, we find faithful local leaders, surround them with training, mentorship, and resources, and walk with them as they build something that will outlast us. Each church becomes a source of hope, service, and renewal for its neighborhood.
One thousand is a big number. But we believe that with a generous community standing behind this mission, it's not just possible — it's within reach.
What we value

Lasting change is led from within. We invest in local leaders who know and love their communities.
Integrity
We steward every gift with transparency and care, measuring impact honestly.
Generosity
We believe generosity multiplies. What is given freely is meant to be passed on.

Real transformation takes time. We commit for the long haul, not the quick win.
