Church Planting

Stretch and Sow = Church Planting

Stretch and Sow is a Church Planting emphasis whereby the OARBC comes alongside people or agencies who are attempting to establish new like-minded Baptist churches in Ohio. As a Fellowship of Churches, the OARBC does this by giving grants of money from time to time as needed, but also by encouraging fellowshipping churches to come alongside these church plants and church planters with regular support through prayer, finances, and personnel.
