Start Here: About Our Network

Start Here introduces the simple, biblical way of Jesus and his apostles that shapes everything we do. We believe disciple-making does not need to be complicated—so we pursue one overarching approach to making disciples, one clear way of sharing our faith, one shared discipleship curriculum, and a coaching process that helps believers grow and guide others. This page gives you a straightforward place to begin: understanding the church’s enduring challenges, learning how we share the gospel, walking through our discipleship pathway, and discovering a clear, reproducible path for starting new churches in homes and neighborhoods.
