How to Reach A City That Doesn’t Go to Church
The Barna Research Group recently reported San Francisco Bay Area has the least churchgoing population in the United States. In response local church, business and nonprofit leaders in the Bay Area are taking steps of faith to change this. Recently, the Exponential Conference came to the Bay Area for a second time to encourage these leaders to plant more churches. The local leaders plan to raise $15 million for the Start-Up Church Fund so that they can plant churches across the Bay and share the good news of Jesus. Their hope is to plant 1000 new churches in the next decade.
Pat Gelsinger, CEO of VMWare says, “One of my goals in the Bay Area would be that we are as innovative in our technology and start-ups, as we are innovative in our church-planting and start-up churches.”
Watch the video below to see how these leaders plan to win hearts in the Bay Area.
