about FEC

Synergy Church Planting Network is the planting arm of the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches…

we establish reproducing churches worldwide

The Fellowship of Evangelical Churches (FEC) created the Synergy Network to identify new church planters, partner with existing churches, and pool resources to plant new churches.FEC lives by the calling to establish reproducing churches worldwide, and won’t stop until that calling is complete.

we believe in healthy church planters

We believe the leader’s personal spiritual formation and health are the absolute centerpiece for effective church planting.  Assessment, coaching, networking, and care are provided to ensure church planters serve from soul health above all else.

we are a wide boat in a narrow river

As a Fellowship of Churches, we use the saying that we are wide boat in a narrow river to describe our approach. We hold to the historical tenets of evangelical Christianity. We believe in the Bible, the three-in-one God, the supremacy of Jesus Christ, and the sufficiency of the cross to rescue the world from sin, offered by grace to anyone who receives it by faith

“Church planters are the tip of the spear for God’s deepest passion—to reach the world with the good news of Christ. Helping raise up healthy church planters to accomplish that mission is among the greatest privileges of my life.”

TOM BENNARDO, Executive Director of Church Multiplication & Leadership

“The church was and is God’s plan to share the Gospel with the world. Church Planting is the most effective way to reach people with the Gospel, and I love encouraging church planters.”

JARED MEHRLE, Director of Church Multiplication

“I believe church planters are among God’s choice servants, and planting across cultural, ethnic, and language barriers is truly miraculous. To walk this sacred path shoulder to shoulder is an amazing gift from God!”

HAL LEHMAN, Director of Cross-Cultural Church Multiplication

recent projects

A few of our recent Synergy projects…

potential projects

We have a Network of churches around Wichita that have identified El Dorado as a community that they are eager to support a church planter in that community.

Our Network of churches in Northwest Ohio has a distinct calling to plant churches in rural communities that are desperate for a fresh work in these overlooked communities.

We have an existing church that would love for a church planter to birth a new church in this vibrant and diverse suburb of Chicago.

Our Network of churches in Northeast Ohio are looking to come together to support a church plant in a wide variety of communities that need a new church.

We have a lot of churches concentrated around Fort Wayne that have a desire to plant a church in New Haven, Indiana.

We value our churches being able to work together. So, we have a number of other clusters of churches around the country and would love to plant more churches in a number of different regions.
