Kingdom Community, Part 2
By America Kimlinger
Welcome back to our Kingdom Community blog series! In our first blog, we introduced you to StartCHURCH's partnership heart and the incredible partners who walk alongside us in our journey to empower churches and ministries.
These organizations represent a dynamic and diverse network committed to spreading the message of Jesus. Each brings unique strengths, resources, and a shared vision that amplifies our collective impact. Their stories of dedication, innovation, and unwavering faith inspire us and drive our mission forward.
In this second part of our series, we will showcase more remarkable partners and highlight who they are. Whether you're a seasoned church leader or someone new to ministry seeking to make a meaningful impact in your community, we hope they can inspire and guide you.
The River Network International
The River Network International empowers church planters through coaching, training, and ongoing education. They're on a mission to start and strengthen churches, teaming up with the Global Methodist Church and welcoming planters from all backgrounds. They offer personalized coaching with experienced planters, making sure each one gets the support they need. Plus, their training sessions are packed with skills and knowledge to help church leaders thrive and make a real difference in their communities.

Planters Field Training Academy
Our partners at The Woodlands Methodist Church started the growing community of Planter's Field Training Academy, which offers a comprehensive online and self-paced video course designed to equip church planters with both practical and spiritual tools needed to launch a new church. The course features 20-minute modules, each containing multiple video lessons and supplementary written content, allowing learners to understand and retain information better.
This modular approach provides flexibility, enabling participants to learn at their own pace, whether in intensive sessions or over time. Plus, being 100% online means you can learn wherever and whenever suits you best. Find out more at visit https://www.plantersfield.org/
National Hispanic Pastors Alliance
NAHPA brings Hispanic Christian voices together in the U.S. to bless the community and make a positive impact. Their mission is to unite Christian leaders to speak as one voice, stand up for faith and values, educate leaders to serve their communities better and promote unity across different ethnicities, denominations, and churches. Their core values are built on the word of God and faith in Jesus Christ, focusing on unity, compassion, integrity, and excellence.
NAHPA's initiatives cover essential areas like religious freedom, family, human dignity, education, and pastoral and church development through their Pastors Institute. With around 400 members, including influential leaders from various denominations, NAHPA is a key player in uniting and advocating for the Hispanic Christian community.

Exponential
Exponential is not just about helping people start churches; they're all about supporting strong leaders who make disciples and champion reproduction. They understand the tough challenges Christian leaders have faced recently and aim to bolster those building sustainable, impactful lives. Their concept revolves around Multipliers—leaders who commit to consistent, long-term efforts and strive to reproduce healthy outcomes. They believe this approach creates far-reaching impacts, influencing lives across multiple generations.
Check out their Annual Global Conference and Multipliers Learning Communities, where forward-thinking church leaders gather to learn and grow together, build lasting connections, and gain innovative ideas to implement actionable plans in their local contexts. https://exponential.org/

Association of Related Ministries International
A.R.M.I., part of Andrew Wommack Ministries, is a global community where ministers can connect, support each other, and find resources. It offers a safe space for ministers to discuss issues they might not share openly elsewhere, receiving encouragement and practical help. Established alongside Andrew Wommack Ministries in 1978, A.R.M.I. focuses on equipping ministers worldwide through education and resources. It's closely tied with Charis Bible College, also under AWMI, which sends graduates worldwide to spread the Gospel, with campuses in nearly sixty locations globally. A.R.M.I. members benefit from local leaders who offer guidance and encouragement, while classes and seminars led by experienced leaders empower ministers in their respective ministries.
