Churches Plant Churches.
We Help Fund Them.
4 Church is a registered association of churches. Our church tech funds church planting — not shareholders. We help church-planting missionaries engage their city, make disciples, and start new churches in rural communities across North America.
The Early Church & Disciple-Making Movements
From the very beginning, businesses funded the spread of the gospel. Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth, supported Paul's ministry. Priscilla and Aquila were tentmakers who labored alongside the apostles. The early church wasn't funded by institutions — it was funded by believers in the marketplace who leveraged their trade to make disciples.
"One who heard us was a woman named Lydia... a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention."
A businesswoman whose trade funded the advance of the gospel in Europe.
"After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth... and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers."
Co-vocational ministry — marketplace work fueling church planting.
"You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities and to those who were with me."
Paul modeled self-support so the gospel would not be hindered.
We carry that same model forward today. When a church uses 4 Church technology, their investment doesn't pad a shareholder's portfolio — it plants churches.

Church Tech That Funds Church Planting
4 Church is a registered association of churches. We exist so that the technology a church uses every Sunday can directly fund the planting of new churches — not line the pockets of shareholders.
Every partnership level fuels the mission. When your church subscribes, a portion of your investment goes to equipping vetted church planters to engage their city, make disciples, and start new churches.
Our Vision for Rural Church Planting
The Great Commission calls us to go into all the world — including the small towns and rural communities right here at home.
Churches Plant Churches
We believe the local church is God's primary strategy for reaching communities. We don't plant churches — we equip churches to plant churches.
We Help Fund Them
Through partnerships with Christian businesses like Faithson Solutions, 4 Church directs resources directly to church planting efforts in underserved areas.
Rural Focus
While many ministries focus on urban centers, we're committed to the small towns, farming communities, and rural areas often overlooked by church planting networks.
Across North America
From the plains of Oklahoma to the hills of Appalachia, we're working to see gospel-centered churches planted in rural communities across the continent.
Endorsed by the North American Mission Board
Our church planters are vetted and endorsed by the North American Mission Board (NAMB). We partner with sent, accountable, theologically faithful missionaries who are called to engage their city, make disciples, and start healthy new churches.

Direct financial support to help cover launch costs — from signage and equipment to first-gathering expenses — so planters can focus on people, not fundraising.

Full access to the 4 Church platform at reduced or subsidized rates, giving planters enterprise-grade ministry tools on a church-plant budget.
Free Resources & Training
Practical training, templates, and ministry resources to help planters engage their city, make disciples, and start healthy new churches.

We connect church planters with co-vocational friendly jobs in the marketplace, so bi-vocational leaders can provide for their family while planting.
