At District Conference in July, 2006, the Iowa-Minnesota District announced its intention to plant fourteen (14) new churches in the next three to five years. These churches will primarily come through cluster plants in each of the district's seven zones. The district is making $50,000 available to each zone to plant two new churches in the next few years. This is seed money, of course, and it will require many more dollars than these to get the new churches off the ground. Zone meetings have been held and facilitators for each zone have been chosen. Potential church planters who are interested in becoming involved in this multiplication movement should contact District Superintendent Ron McClung at rmcclung@iamndistrict.org or Rev. Al Goracke, the District Evangelism and Church Growth Director at pastoral@skypoint.com
