Converge MidAmerica is a movement of churches working to help people meet, know and follow Jesus. For over 165 years we’ve helped church planters like you bring life change to communities in the United States. We have a 92% success rate of planting healthy, life-giving churches.

We are relationally devoted. Christian maturity is relationally driven. And yet many pastors are lonely and feel ill-equipped to lead in their local church. Converge churches are not in competition, but committed to collaboration. We believe we are better together than we could ever be apart. One of the greatest strengths is our devotion to one another.

We are culturally diverse. Converge began as an immigrant movement that started churches in additional languages. Very few groups have our diversity. We see the diversity in our movement as a place of strength, positioning us to reach entire communities and people around the world.When you plant with Converge, you become part of a movement of like-minded evangelical churches focused on the mission of Jesus.
