Founding Partners
Partner in planting a church in Bixby.
Like supporting a missionary family, we are asking 80 households to commit a monthly amount through our first public gathering in September 2027. You are not funding a building or a program. You are sending a family to a city that needs a new gospel-centered church.

Why monthly
A plant runs on what it can count on.
A one-time gift helps. A monthly commitment is what lets us sign a venue lease, plan a launch team calendar, and keep a family on the ground in Bixby for the full runway. Recurring support is the difference between hoping the year works and knowing it does.
That is why we ask for a twelve-month commitment through launch, at whatever amount is right for your household.
The ask, in numbers
Choose your level
Three levels for households.
Every level opens the giving form with the plant fund and that amount already filled in. You choose the frequency there, and nothing is locked.
{{ cadenceNote }}
The giving form opens with your amount already filled in. Under Frequency, choose Monthly — we leave that set to you rather than pre-selecting it, so nothing recurring starts by accident.
Before you give once: $100 a month is $1,200 across the launch year, and it fills one of the eighty household places we are praying for. Would you consider it instead?
Three kinds of partner
Not every partner gives money.
Prayer partners
You receive the monthly partner update and pray through what is actually in front of us that month. This is the half of the work no budget covers.
Join the prayer team →Monthly partners

If you are reading this for a congregation.
Churches carry the larger share of this plant — 79% of the launch year. These are the three levels we are asking congregations to consider, and each one is a conversation before it is a commitment.

Accountable stewardship
This plant operates under the oversight of Clayton Crossings' elders. You're not just trusting us — you're trusting the structure around us.
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.2 Corinthians 9:7
If you would rather talk before you decide, Chancellor will take the call.
