ICPA | 2025 Year in Review

Baptism- Rooted Bible Church - Horshoebend, Idaho

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.
