Plant a Church

One church. One village. A generation changed.

Thailand Kids plants Bible-centered children's churches in villages where the Gospel has never been preached, led by trained Thai believers from day one. Churches and organisations that partner with us make the next plant possible. Here is how.

Three ways to partner

Choose the plant that fits your church

A one-time project, a church of your own, or a lasting relationship with a congregation in the hills. Every option is turn-key: we do the work on the ground, you receive the story as it unfolds.

🏛️

This year's headline project

Build Training Center #3

Every church we plant is led by a trained Thai believer, and leaders are the limit on how fast we can go. A third center trains more of them, closer to the villages that need them.

Any timeframe

Plant a Church

Fund one new children's church from first visit to a self-sustaining congregation: the leader's training, the curriculum, the launch, and the first year of support.

Training Center #3

Leaders are the limit. Let's raise the limit.

Our model never sends a foreign missionary to lead a church. It trains a local believer for eighteen months and hands them a congregation. That is what makes every plant durable, and it is also the bottleneck. We can only plant as many churches as we have trained leaders to lead them.

A third training center is not a building project. It is the number of villages we can reach the year after it opens.

The costs are being scoped nowWe are not publishing a target until the site, the build and the staffing are properly costed — a number we would have to revise is worse than no number at all. If your church wants to help shape this project, that conversation starts before the figure does.
✝
Named dedicationA church or organisation funding the center in full, or a lead gift toward it, may dedicate it in the name of their congregation or a person they wish to honour.

Plant a Church

What a turn-key church plant looks like

Every Thailand Kids church follows the same proven, three-phase model. Your church funds it. Our Thai partners carry it out. You receive the story from first visit to first baptism.

1

Identify & Enter

Our Thai partners identify a community with no children's ministry, whether an established church that needs leaders released or a village with no Gospel presence at all. We build trust with families and community leaders over months before launching.

2

Plant & Disciple

We launch weekly children's church with locally adapted curriculum, worship and Bible teaching, led by a trained Thai believer from the beginning, never a foreign missionary.

3

Train & Multiply

As local leaders emerge we train them for eighteen months. Healthy churches then plant new churches. It becomes a movement, not a program.

What your church funds

One gift, or a pledge over any period, covers a complete plant. Nothing is left for the village to find on its own.

  • Eighteen months of training for the local leader
  • Curriculum, Bibles and teaching materials for the first year
  • Launch costs: gathering space, worship, outreach to families
  • Coaching visits from our Thai field team through year one
  • Quarterly reports and photos to your congregation

Church Family Partner New

A congregation to walk with, not just a cause to fund

Your church is matched with one family who represents a specific Thailand Kids church plant. You learn their names, their village's province, and their church. They pray for you. You pray for them. Twice a year, their church writes to yours.

  • Day 14
    Welcome and introductionThe church's name, province and story, a photo of the family and their church building, and a prayer partnership card for both congregations.
  • Easter

  • Advent

What partnership looks like

From a conversation to a congregation

Four steps. We handle every one of them on the ground.

1

Conversation

Tell us about your church and which of the three ways fits. We answer every question your missions team has.

2

Commit

Choose a project and a giving plan that suits your budget. One gift, or a pledge over any timeframe.

3

Launch

Our Thai field team begins. You receive the first photos and the story of the village as it starts.

4

Relationship

Letters, photos and reports on a set rhythm, and a standing invitation to visit the church you helped plant.

"And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved."

Acts 2:47

Let's begin

Plant a church with us this year

Every conversation starts the same way: a church that wants to see the Gospel reach children who have never heard it. That is all it takes to begin.
