Myriad Pathway
Send
Do you have someone in your church with a call to connect with those your church isn't reaching?
You may see both the opportunity and the responsibility this brings. Releasing someone into new mission requires care, clarity and the right support around them.
The Myriad Pathway offers a 2.5-year journey for ordinary, everyday people and their teams as they discern, form and establish a new church community — remaining rooted in and accountable to the sending church.
We work alongside local leaders to ensure that those you send are supported well, prepared thoughtfully, and connected to a wider learning community.
If you are exploring what it might look like to send someone, we would be glad to begin that conversation.
Behind almost every healthy new church plant is a leader who spotted potential before the planter did.
Calling to plant rarely announces itself neatly. Signs worth paying attention to in your congregation:
A burden for people currently outside your church's reach
Natural gathering ability — people already form community around them
Evangelistic fruitfulness, even in small or informal ways
Resilience and initiative — starting things before everything is figured out
Others already drawn to serve alongside them
Use "Who Plants Churches?" as a discernment tool
Our guide on identifying and forming planters — written for church leaders, to help you spot potential and talk it through with someone you're discerning this with.

Every planting team needs a sending church —the congregation that discerns their calling, endorses them to join a Hub, prays for them, and often helps fund the journey.
This partnership matters as much as the training itself: sending well means investing in people you'll see less of, for the sake of a church that doesn't exist yet, and staying in relationship with the team through the full 2.5 years, not just at the send-off.
Every team is also paired with an oversight minister — an established church leader who provides regular light-touch, non-directive supervision and accountability, distinct from the Hub's mentors. Although this is usually the leader of the sending church, there may be situations when this isn't possible. Whoever they may be, they offer wisdom, a listening ear and a safeguarding presence, supporting through good questions rather than directing outcomes.
