Church Planting Networks
Acts 29 is a diverse, global family of church-planting churches characterized by theological clarity, cultural engagement, and missional innovation.
We’re a family of churches. We make disciples, strengthen one another, and plant churches of Missional Communities towards Gospel Saturation…until every man, woman, and child has a daily encounter with Jesus in word and deed.
We are networks of churches who are partnering together to believe God for a Spirit-inspired movement of healthy reproducing churches in the Spokane and PNW region.
Churches Planted
Doxa in Coeur d’ Alene, ID
Over the years God has instilled in us a deep love and passion for his church. We believe the church is the stage for how God’s redemptive work is being revealed. Doxa means glory. Without God we naturally attempt to find meaning in ourselves by pursuing our own glory. We believe we are made for God and that our hearts are restless until we find our rest in him (Augustine). “His glory, our hearts” is what drives us to present Jesus as the very center of who we are and what we are about. Our vision it to grow people into mature disciples of Jesus, who joyfully reflect God’s glory.
We form disciples of Jesus Christ, in community, through the Gospel, for God’s glory.
All Of Life in Post Falls, ID
God's Church is a beautiful thing. Though many think of "church" as a building or an event, the Church is God's People. We are those that He has called out of darkness and into His Family. We have long histories of brokenness, shame, rebellion, pride, indifference and self-sufficiency. Yet, through dependence on the perfect life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, He has graciously given us Himself, forgiveness, new affections, new identities, and a new purpose: WORSHIP FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT IN ALL OF LIFE.
We exist to see the Inland Northwest and the Nations Saturated with the Good News of Jesus.

DUSTIN & ANGIE HERRING
NICARAGUA
“Our Vision is to provide a place where the weary can rest, the adventurous can be revived, and the poor can be served with the reckless love of our Creator. Our dream is to share water and light in the beautiful country of Nicaragua. We sold our house in the PNW and most possessions. Then we started to watch the Lord provide a way for us to save for a new dream that is just beginning to unfold. We started dreaming of a children's center where we could pour into the lives of the local children and provide a consistent, save place for them. Our supporters rallied around this concept and we were able to raise enough money to build the children's center, kitchen, and bathrooms.We keep seeking how to bring about justice in our community and believe strongly in finding ways to provide basic human rights like clean water and health care.”
