Honoring a Rich Legacy
The inception of ARC is deeply rooted in a vision spurred by Greg Surratt, the Founding Pastor of Seacoast Church. Early on, Surratt and a team of dedicated leaders saw the need for new churches to spread the life-transforming message of Jesus. Through collaboration and generous support, the dream of ARC came to fruition.
A Global Network of Support
Since its establishment, ARC has transformed into a significant global network, dedicated to aiding church pastors through essential resources, financial support, and a community aimed at fostering long-lasting impact. Notably, during church launches, ARC churches have witnessed over 15,000 individuals making decisions to follow Christ.
