We help you start thriving, growing, multiplying churches for the next generation.

THRIVING CHURCHES are full of life. Their leaders are healthy and their cities are positively impacted by their existence.
GROWING CHURCHES not only increase in size but they increase in impact. They help people experience the abundant and transformative life of Jesus.
MULTIPLYING CHURCHES go beyond themselves. They make disciples who make disciples who make disciples. Multiplying churches start new churches that also thrive, grow, and multiply.
FOR THE NEXT GENERATION because statistically, many people decide to follow Jesus before the age of 18. We help to equip churches to guide and nurture those decisions in safe and healthy atmospheres.

Who can launch & lead a church with Stadia?

Stadia works with many different models of churches, and many different types of leaders. We believe the Kingdom of Heaven is a Kingdom of diversity, and new churches should reflect that.

We provide guidance to both men & women called to start new churches for the next generation.

Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible is the Word of God, written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.

We believe God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. There is one God who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in Jesus Christ; that he is fully God and fully human; that he was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary; that he lived a sinless life; that He died in our place to bring us into a relationship with the God the Father through the cross. We believe in His miracles; in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the right hand of the Father; in His present rule as Head of the Church; and that He will one day return in victory to rule forever.

We believe in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is present in the world to make us aware of our need for Jesus. The Holy Spirit lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation and provides Christians with the power to live a fruitful Christian life. We seek to live under the control of the Holy Spirit daily.

We believe heaven and hell are places of eternal existence. Those who have not placed their faith in Jesus will exist eternally separated from God by sin, and those who have placed their faith in Jesus will exist with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally with God is heaven.

We believe all people everywhere are created in the image of God and someone for whom Jesus died. We believe Jesus wants believers to live in unity as a way of pointing to the dignity and worth with which God created us and find equality across racial, gender, and class differences.

What’s a Stadia?

The word “stadia” is a unit of measure used in scripture. Not only was it used to describe the distance from Jerusalem to Emmaus, but how far the disciples were from the shore when Jesus challenged Peter to walk on water, and as the name of a foot race similar to what Paul had in mind when he talked about perseverance. It’s also used to describe the distance around the heavenly city outlined in Revelation 21:16 that will be filled with people from every tribe, language, and nation.

Stadia is designed to help guide new-church leaders through the beautiful, but sometimes difficult journey of launching and leading new churches that thrive, grow, and multiply for the next generation— so that the world may know Jesus.
