One of France's most dynamic church-planting organisations, France Mission has a vision to see evangelical churches grow through multiplication. France Mission has demonstrated that healthy, faith-sharing churches can plant daughter-churches within a few years. Today, France Mission has over 60 churches in nine regions of France.
France Mission's churches tend to be small (under 100 people), democratic in structure, informal in style, and distinctly non-ecclesiastical in their premises, with converted shops, banks, garages and factories pressed into service.
Of France Mission's 140 missionaries, 12 come from the UK. A French-led organisation, France Mission is supported by the prayers of thousands of Christians in the English-speaking world.
France Mission's own growth is mirrored across France as a whole. Since the 1970s, when there were around 1,100 evangelical congregations, church growth in France has been spectacular, with over 1,200 new churches being added in the last 30 years. A new evangelical church is now planted somewhere in France every nine days!
