Accelerating Church Plants Across America
Church planters are our heroes.
Church Plants Change the World
They baptize 32% more people than established churches.
From 2010-2020 over 6.5 million people began attending church because of a non-denominational church plant.
Gen Z men are showing up in church, and new plants are the best way to disciple them.
Our Heroes
Pastors Dustin and Trina Blatnik
In September 2023, Dustin and Trina (right side of the picture), and a close team of friends planted NOVA Church in Phoenix, AZ. With nearly 30 years of ministry experience, a deep passion for worship, discipleship, and leadership development, they committed to building a church where people could experience authentic faith and meaningful community. Dustin is a professional musician, songwriter, and instructor, performing with national artists and launching the instrumental worship project LoFi Hymnal, which quickly gained a global audience. NOVA Church is filling with college students and young adults from North Phoenix.
“In 2016 my family planted Local Church in Marietta, OH. We started with tremendous momentum, but unfortunately we lacked coaching because our sending organization never reached out after our opening Sunday. We were limited in temporary facilities and didn’t have the funding to get out of them. In desperation we bought a building that was too small. Our church maxed out that building at 400 people, but by our 5th birthday we found ourselves completely stuck. I believe we could have reached thousands in our community if we had access to the appropriate funding. We formed the 99 Network to solve these problems for church planters like you. We want you to accelerate rather than stall out.”
Unfortunately, most church plants get stuck.
Why do most church plants get stuck by their 5th birthday?
Planters don’t raise their salaries before launching, then go bi-vocational.
Sending organizations leave them within 18 months.
Founding pastors lack coaching to grow their churches.
When they grow, they get stuck in temporary facilities.
They can’t afford to purchase a permanent home.
In desperation, they buy small buildings that kill their momentum.
Our vision is to solve these problems:
Phase 1: Fundraising Boot Camp
Where planters are taught how to raise their salaries and launch budgets
Phase 2: Planters Roundtables
Where planters are given the systems to grow their ministries
Phase 3: Post-Launch Budget Support
To sustain the church in its early years
Phase 3: Major Facilities Gift
To establish the church in the right facility where it can reach it’s city
Our Heroes
Pastors Donnell and Vianay Mann
Your Story Church
Houston, TX
Pastors Donnell and Vianay Mann have a powerful testimony. Donnell came to Christ in 2012 after a prison sentence. Jesus radically turned his life around and he found himself working on a church staff as a Next Gen Pastor. God eventually gave the Mann’s a calling to go back to Donnell’s old neighborhood, where he was once involved in the gang life, to start a church. They launched Your Story Church in Houston, TX in January 2025. Their launch Sunday saw 518 people attend! The church is gaining momentum in its community. 30 people just turned their lives to Christ in the last Easter services!
