We want to plant churches in the most strategic cities in North Carolina, North America, and around the world. The following are cities SendRDU is targeting for church plants in the near future:

For a list of our past and current church plants, go here.

Baltimore, MD

Baltimore is a beautiful and historic city made up of 225+ unique neighborhoods. This city is on our target list for several reasons: 1) there are more than 2.7 million people in the Baltimore Metro area, 2) there are more than 125,000 college students in the Baltimore Metro area and 3) there is a great need for Gospel-centered churches. Baltimore is a great place to live for medical and biotech professionals, as it is home to John’s Hopkins Hospital, the #1 ranked hospital in the country.

Fayetteville, NC

Fayetteville is a unique city. The Fayetteville metro area has 336,000 people and counting. The city is home to Ft. Bragg which boasts over 55,000 soldiers making it one of the largest military bases in the world. Less than 20% of the soldiers on Ft. Bragg would even claim a religious affiliation much less lead lives changed by the gospel.  We want to see the fame of Jesus spread in Fayetteville, Ft. Bragg and to the ends of the earth.

Wilmington, NC

Nicknamed the Port City, Wilmington is one of the fastest growing cities of the NC. Home to a large number of college students, young professionals, and young families, Wilmington is a young city – 25% percent of residents under the age of 18, and 30% are age 15 to 34.  Despite the growth in population, the growth of gospel‐centered, culture-engaging churches in Wilmington has lagged behind.

The first step for planting a new church through SendRDU in North America is identifying a lead pastor. These cities represent places where we have identified a potential lead pastor or are actively searching for that person. If you believe God is leading you to pastor and plant a church in one of these cities, please check out our training & assessment opportunities to find out how you can get in touch with us.
