As we close out 2025, we pause to reflect on what God has done through the Intermountain Church Planters Association. Much of the work of church planting occurs quietly—through prayer, coaching, relationships, and steady faithfulness—but this year marked a notable increase in meaningful fruit across the network.
Below is a snapshot of how God has been at work through planters, churches, and partners across the Intermountain region.
2025 at a Glance
• 32,000+ People Are the Prize prayer bookmarks distributed
• 320,000 people being intentionally prayed for
• Residency program launched in March
• First ICPA Assessment hosted in June
• Continued growth of coaching infrastructure
• Churches stepping into health and independence
• 93 baptisms in 2025 from church plants of the last three years
Prayer at the Center | People Are the Prize
Prayer remains at the center of everything we do. This year, more than 32,000 People Are the Prize bookmarks were distributed, representing 320,000 people being covered in intentional prayer.
Each bookmark represents a name, a story, and a reminder that people—not programs—are the prize.

This year marked the launch of ICPA’s Residency program and the hosting of our first official ICPA Assessment. Together, these initiatives represent a significant step forward in preparing planters for long-term health.
Coaching continues to be a central pillar of ICPA’s strategy, with intentional investment in strengthening systems and support for planters at every stage.
Looking Ahead
As we look toward 2026 and beyond, the need for healthy church planters and strong sending churches remains great. We move forward with humility, faith, and confidence in God’s provision.
People are the prize, and it is a privilege to serve those called to plant and lead churches across the Intermountain region.
