About LAUNCH
LAUNCH began in Manchester with a focus on church planting, encouraging leaders to take a risk to “LAUNCH out” into the deep blue oceans and reach people nobody was reaching by doing what others were not doing.
Our story
Not just colleagues, but comrades
Since 2016, many partnerships based on shared bold vision and entrepreneurial faith have formed, resulting in countless new churches and ministries.
Many leaders who were barely hanging on and running out of ideas have found not only great ideas for innovation but good friends, whether in or out of their other circles of affiliation, because we don’t just need colleagues but comrades, co-conspirators, compadres and confidants!
Our mission
LAUNCH seeks to recover the apostolic mission and activate the whole people of God as a movement to transform the world.
Who we are
Practitioners and experimenters
We see church as a supernatural community that’s all about Jesus, where we make, mature and multiply disciples and leaders, as we meet some of the deepest needs of those where God has placed us, often resulting in new churches planted.
LAUNCH has responded to invitations and prophetic words to learn from and with leaders in other places, and now gathers pioneering leaders to grow apostolic hubs across the UK.
