Church Planter
EPC Church Planting Community exists to support and equip church planters in launching and sustaining healthy churches. Through strategic coaching, peer cohorts, and comprehensive training, we provide planters with the tools, relationships, and encouragement needed to thrive in ministry.
We are looking for passionate church planters who feel called to start new gospel-centered communities. Our approach emphasizes planting in community, ensuring that no planter walks alone. We offer:
✅ Coaching & Training – Personalized support from experienced church planters
✅ Cohorts & Community – Connection with other planters for shared learning and encouragement
✅ Strategic Support – Guidance in mission, vision, core values, strategic planning, executive/business coaching, and soul care to ensure both the planter and the church flourish
We are actively targeting Texas for a church planting movement. Texas is the fastest-growing state, closely followed by
Florida. Due to its size, we are praying for God’s provision in establishing a new presbytery, the Texas Presbytery.
While many cities and towns require new churches, the greatest need appears to be in the metro areas of Dallas and
Austin. Additionally, Houston, San Antonio, and other regions and cities are experiencing significant growth and will also
be considered.
Given the scale of this vision, we are seeking movement leaders to plant flagship churches that will, in turn, plant
additional churches. Partnering with EPC Church Planting is an added benefit as it offers substantial support, including
biannual in-person training, coaching, and cohorts. Our goal is to foster a community of planters where no one feels
isolated, and every planter is relationally connected and resourced. We are committed to planting gospel-driven, kingdom-
minded, holistic, healthy, and reproducing churches led by well-supported planters. This community is led by three
experienced church planters: Hunter Bailey, Alfredo Forhans and Richard Rieves. Discover more at
