Strategic Launch SLN exists to see spiritual renewal across North America by planting churches in strategic cities. We launch planters who are called equipped and motivated for the work of church planting connect them with the resources their churches need to succeed and walk with them for a lifetime through coaching and community. From one church plants success to a network of planters and partners Our first church was planted in 2002 in New York City when our founder Steve Stroope saw the opportunity to support a highcapacity leader who felt called to one of the hardest to reach cities in our nation. The success of that first church plant to bring radical change to the people it impacted in NYC sparked a vision for a continued strategy and garnered the support of likeminded partners who joined the mission.
