1. Fayetteville is growing. Cumberland County has grown to become the fifth-largest county in North Carolina and is still experiencing significant growth. There is tremendous need for new churches to be planted. 2. Fayetteville is a military community. Fayetteville is adjacent to Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg), the largest military installation in the world. Home to U.S. Army Special Operations Command, U.S. Army Forces Command, Joint Special Operations Command, U.S. Army Reserve Command, the 82nd Airborne Division, and more, Fayetteville is affectionately known as the “center of the military universe.” We have the opportunity to disciple the highly transient families who are stationed at Fort Liberty to Fulfill the Great Commission as they fulfill the military’s mission. 3.Fayetteville is a natural church planting hub. We envision planting churches in military communities around the world, beginning in Fayetteville and the greater Fort Liberty area. We want to train and equip the people in our church to go plant multiplying churches. We also want to equip those who transition from military service to recommission into military communities as church planters
