The Asbury Center for Church Multiplication is excited to partner with church planters who are engaging in new, innovative approaches to church planting in the 21st century. Each year, we will select qualified church planters to be a part of the Asbury CCM Grant Matching Program. The Asbury CCM Grant Matching Program provides matching funds to existing church plants that are already receiving funds from their network or denomination. Selected applicants may receive up to $20,000 in matching funds.


The Asbury Grant Matching Fellowship is a 1 year program designed to mobilize church planters to make disciples and multiply churches.

Selected church planters will:

  • Develop relationships with the CCM team for support and prayer
  • Receive up to $20,000.00 in grant funding (depending on matched amount)
  • Join a cohort with other church planters in the fellowship from diverse contexts
  • Participate in regular coaching calls with a veteran Asbury church planting coach
  • Receive exclusive invitation to the CCM Multiplication Conference each year at ATS. The invitation also includes travel stipends, lodging on campus, and meals.
