Welcome to IGNITE Church Planting
REACHING the unreached and unconnected in Chicagoland for Jesus.

Is God calling You to Chicagoland?
Ignite Church Planting (formerly the CDEA) has started over 100 churches, and has adopted an aggressive plan to start an additional 100 churches by the year 2025, To reach this goal, several types and kinds of new churches and church planters will be needed. Interested? Is God calling you to Chicagoland?
