From new recruits to retired veterans, more than 23 million men and women are part of the American military. They have given their lives to benefit the lives of others and endured the horrors and hardships of battle—physically, mentally and spiritually. Members of the Armed Services and their families desperately need healthy community, but the transient nature of their assignments, deployments and culture in general can make connecting difficult. Through church planting near military communities, you can affect change, meet needs, disciple believers, and help mobilize the church in powerful and strategic ways.
