SLN gives you a proven process, a seasoned coach, and a community of planters — so you can focus on the calling, not the chaos.
You feel it deep in your bones — the call to reach a city that desperately needs the gospel. But where do you start? How do you fund it? Who do you call when it gets hard at 2 a.m.? You weren’t meant to carry this alone. That’s why we exist.
Together, we'll develop a personalized church planting roadmap. We build it with you based on your city, your gifts, and your vision.
A seasoned pastor who's walked this road. It's not a curriculum, but a real relationship. Monthly calls, honest feedback, and someone in your corner.
A tight-knit community of planters who understand your world. Annual retreats, group coaching, and lifelong friendships.
Connected to a network of partner churches and donors who believe in your calling and invest in your church's success.
We start by listening. Tell us your story, your theology, your vision, and where you feel called. We'll get to know your character, your family, and your readiness — because the right fit matters more than a fast start.
Together, we discern whether SLN is the right network for you. This isn't a rubber stamp — it's a mutual commitment. We're looking for leaders who are spiritually mature, action-oriented, and hungry to grow.
We help you build a launch plan tailored to your city — demographics, funding model, team-building, and timeline. You bring the vision; we bring the playbook.
We match you with a coach, introduce you to partner churches, and plug you into a cohort of fellow planters. You'll never walk into a room wondering if anyone understands your world.
Launch day is just the beginning. We help you prepare for a strong opening and navigate the critical first year — from volunteer teams to first-Sunday logistics.
This is what makes us different. We don't disappear after launch. Ongoing coaching, annual retreats, peer community, and resources — for a lifetime. We're in this with you.
Partnering with Strategic Launch Network was one of the biggest blessings we have had as a church. They are the best of the best and we are forever grateful to partner with SLN.
SLN has given me deep relationships with guys who share my calling. It has provided coaching and other resources that are helping our church thrive in downtown San Francisco.
Strategic Launch Network has given me the community, coaching, and resourcing I have needed to plant a thriving church in one of the most strategic urban centers of the world.
I truly believe my connection to SLN has been a divine appointment. From relevant coaching to authentic, like-minded community and generous funding, SLN is taking our year-and-a-half old church plant to new levels. I’m so grateful for this Network and the impact it’s already having on me and Union City Church!
Great church planters are exceptional decision-makers. Church planting involves making thousands of decisions, each with the potential to either derail or fulfill the vision God has given you. The coaching from SLN is unparalleled. It has guided our team toward a launch beyond our dreams and continued effectiveness in every season since.
Strategic Launch Network has been absolutely crucial in my planting journey. They have provided me the necessary insights, tools, support, and so much for to ensure I was able and ready to do what God had called me to do. Renewal is breaking out across our nation and world because of the Strategic Launch Network!
Proverbs 13:20 reminds us that when we walk with the wise, we become wise. Journeying alongside the SLN team and my fellow planters has profoundly shaped me. This community has not only elevated me but also equipped and encouraged me in ways I could never have found elsewhere.








SLN planters are spiritually mature, action-oriented leaders with a clear vision for reaching the disconnected in hard-to-reach cities. They lead themselves first, lead their families well, and lead others with integrity and grace.
This isn’t for the faint of heart. But if God is stirring something in you — we want to hear about it.
