Church Planting Search Directory

The Church Planting Search Directory is a collaborative initiative of Passion for Planting, Church Planting Solutions and Leading Edge Ministries. The purpose of the directory is to provide new churches the best possible online resources. This unique directory functions like other leading search engines, but the content is targeted specifically to new churches. Our goal is to provide the most comprehensive and relevant links of interest to leaders involved in new church work.

The Church Planting Search Directory includes the following categories:

Church Planter Assessment
Bible Colleges/Seminaries
Books/Reading Materials
Coaching
Curriculum/Teaching Materials
Demographic Information
Denominational Church Planting Groups
Directory Listings
Equipment/Supplies
Facilities

Organizations will be considered for inclusion by simply clicking on the suggest site link and submitting a request (this link is also used to request changes to your existing listing). Each organization can request to be included in up to three different categories. Church Planting Solutions reserves the right to make modifications to submitted entries to correct errors and to ensure stylistic consistency within the directory. Inclusion in the Church Planting Search Directory does not constitute endoresement of the organization by Church Planting Solution; it is simply a listing of businesses and ministries of value to church planting leaders. Inclusion and specific placement of organizations is at the sole discretion of Church Planting Solutions. Organizations can request removal from the directory at any time.

To avoid even the appearance of inpropriety, no paid advertising or pay per clicks are allowed. Organizations included in the directory are chosen based soley on the value of their products and services to new church leaders.

How will the directory function?

1. Initial directory was compiled manually based on a review of thousands of organizations. Church Planting Solutions will continually search for new and relevant sites and do maintenance on the directory.

2. Directory categories were determined based on the needs of new churches. New categories will be added as necessary.

3. New entries to the database will be identified primarily by submissions via the suggest site link. We will rely on the input of organizations and individuals who are working on the front lines.

4. The database search engine html code is very compact (few lines of text) and was designed to allow easy insertion on any web site. We encourage organizations to insert the search bar on their web site (The actual database resides on Church Planting Solution's server and takes up virtually no space on the users web site. The search entry bar can be inserted anywhere on the user's web page). Click here to obtain the code and simple installation instructions (can be installed in minutes).
