About
Born to plant.
Home-grown in Australia in 1974. Now established across the world, with over 2,000 churches.
Why we plant — born for more
INC believes the most effective way of reaching nations with the Gospel of Jesus Christ is through the planting of strong, purposeful churches. That conviction shapes everything — from how planters are identified, to how teams are formed, to how new churches are launched and supported.
In INC’s own words: “Our heart is to attract, equip, resource and release strong church planters with strong church planting teams who will build strong churches that influence their communities towards Christ.”
Planting on Purpose is the pathway INC has built to make that real in Australia — a clear, structured journey from sensing the call to launching the church.
What planters get
- Strong apostolic leadership and a growing brand with momentum across Australia and internationally.
- Financial backing — support for planter development and the plant itself, and access to INC’s own treasury.
- Reduced administrative overheads through scale.
- Coaching from successful planters and pastors, with plans tailored to your assessment.
- Proven church-management systems and ministry resources developed over decades.
- Ordained minister credentials and a national community of pastors, planters and churches.
- Wider connections — Red Frogs, Global Care, CHC, INC Invest — plus international and missions opportunities.
Global vision, local expression
INC operates across the world — but every plant is local in expression. The church you plant is yours, in your town, for your people. That’s the INC posture: a movement big enough to back you, lean enough to let you lead.
