Office of Church Planting
We are the Office of Church Planting & Development for the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). Our team consists of our leadership staff, our Church Planting coaches and trainers, and all of the diocesan Canons for Church Planting across the ACNA. Networking together we want to help mobilize, resource and support our church planters in effectively spreading the gospel and making disciples of Jesus by planting churches across North America.

"If the Eucharist is where the Church becomes most fully herself at the altar, church planting is where she becomes most fully herself in the world. By planting daughter churches, Mother Church gives her life away—and becomes more alive in the giving.”
— Fr. Tony Melton, Always Forward Lead

To help train, connect & support local church planters
“Always Forward has been invaluable to me as a church planter. Equipping with a clear Anglican vision, combined with the personal care and investment I received, helped me to think deeply and to lead effectively as a planter.”
