Why California?
California has the largest population, the most diversity, the strongest economy, and arguably the greatest cultural influence of any state.
We believe these factors and many more add up to California being the most strategic mission field in America for planting new churches.
-
California boasts a population of 39 million people. That means 1 out of every 8 Americans lives in the Golden State.
-
About 1/4 of Californians were born outside the U.S.
-
If California were a nation, it would have the 5th largest economy in the world behind Germany and ahead of India.
-
Between the film industry in Hollywood and tech companies in the Silicon Valley, California shapes culture around the world like no other state.
