Church Planting Initiative in Bay Area

San Francisco Bay Area, is an extensive, mostly urbanized region that primarily surrounds the San Francisco and San Pablo estuaries in Northern California with about 7.5 million people. It is home to many well-known cities and landmarks with San Francisco being the cultural and financial center of the area. It is internationally famous for its unique landmarks, steep hills, and history. It is also home to the Silicon Valley, the premier high technology region of the world which ranges from Redwood City in the north to San Jose in the south where many of the industry leaders in technology, including Google, Yahoo!, Cisco, Apple, Oracle, and Hewlett-Packard make their home. A group of missionaries and church planting strategists have developed an initiative of starting churches called 10-10-10 that will kick off a series of events in the Bay Area to launch a California-wide initiative with a goal of 40 new church starts. They are starting churches based on four models. The 'Antioch' priority, which is starting strong, strategically located, reproducing churches. The 'Athens' priority, planting churches among the least reached people groups, the 'Acts 2' priority which is starting small, reproducing indigenous churches that are usually bi-vocationally led and  'Amos' strategy which is aimed at starting churches around ministries of justice and community service. You can read about it at Baptist Press.
