We are a church plant- ing church. Having been
blessed with much growth over the past decade, a decision was made not to become a mega-church. Instead, with God's help our goal has been to plant as many new congregations in the greater Springfield area as we can.
In November of 2000 ap- proximately 75 members went out from Sunset to plant a new congregation in Nixa, MO (a suburb of Springfield). God has blessed this effort tremendously and today the Union Hill Church of Christ is a family of believers comprising over 400. In January 2006 we sent a 150-member team of church planters to Brookline, MO (a suburb to the west of Springfield). God has blessed Brookline and that congregation is now up over 250.
