Why We Partner With ARC

At Goff Companies, our mission is to build more than structures—we strive to create spaces that serve as foundations for faith, community, and growth. Partnering with the Association of Related Churches (ARC) aligns with our commitment to supporting ministries that transform lives. ARC’s mission to plant and strengthen churches resonates deeply with our purpose, as we recognize the vital role churches play in fostering connection and spiritual development. This partnership is meaningful because it allows us to contribute to a shared vision of equipping communities with vibrant, functional, and inspiring spaces where people can gather, worship, and thrive. If you are a pastor with a vision to launch a new church or an existing church with a heart to help plant churches, we encourage you to learn more about ARC and discover how you can be part of this impactful mission. 

Association of Related Churches

The Association of Related Churches (ARC) is a collaborative network of independent churches from various denominations and backgrounds, united by a shared mission: to see a thriving church in every community, reaching people with the message of Jesus.

Launching New Churches

ARC is dedicated to assisting individuals who feel called to plant life-giving churches. They offer a comprehensive support system that includes training, resources, and guidance throughout the church planting journey. Their structured launch process is designed to help new churches start strong and sustain growth over time.

Connecting Church Leaders

Understanding the challenges of ministry, ARC emphasizes the importance of community among church leaders. They provide opportunities for pastors and ministry teams to build relationships, share experiences, and support one another. Through events, conferences, and regional gatherings, ARC fosters a sense of family among its members, ensuring that no one does ministry alone.

Equipping Churches with Resources

Beyond relational support, ARC connects churches with practical resources to enhance their effectiveness. This includes access to leadership training materials, church growth strategies, and various tools tailored to meet the unique needs of both new and existing churches. By equipping churches with these resources, ARC empowers them to thrive and make a significant impact in their communities.

Global Impact and Growth

Since its inception in 2000, ARC has been instrumental in planting over 1,100 churches worldwide. In 2024 alone, 35 new churches were established, bringing the total number of ARC churches to 1,132. This global network continues to expand, driven by a commitment to reach more people with the transformative message of Jesus.

Upcoming Events

ARC hosts various events aimed at training and connecting church leaders. One notable upcoming event is the ARC Conference 2025, scheduled for April 29-30 at Milestone Church in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. These gatherings serve as platforms for inspiration, learning, and collaboration among church leaders and teams.

ARC exists to launch, connect, and equip churches, fostering a global family of congregations dedicated to spreading the message of Jesus and positively impacting their communities.
