​

THE NEED

Ignite is a church-planting ministry located in one of America's greatest cities with a huge population base; Chicagoland and NW Indiana is home to 10 million people. It is estimated that almost 6.5 million people have no relationship with Jesus or his church. Ignite will change that reality by starting new churches. 

 

OUR MISSION 
Bringing hope to Chicagoland by starting churches.

OUR CORE VALUES

• Prayer: We practice prayer because it is the source of wisdom, provision, and direction. 

• Planters: We care for our planters because they are our greatest resource. 

• Partners: We are better together because we know everyone has a role to play in planting, even if they are not a church planter. 

• Possibilities: We love innovation because we must explore new methods to continue being effective at starting churches. 

​

History

Ignite Church Planting started over 100 years ago as Chicago District Evangelization Association.  Ignite has roots to the Independent Christian Churches and has a long track record of planting successful churches through the Chicagoland region.
