The ministry's purpose mentions a goal of spreading the word of Jesus Christ properly, which to them begins with an focus on church planting. Church planting occurs when a pastor develops a Sovereign Grace Church in a new place. In order to produce and cultivate a effective church, every pastor has to take part in a training program to make sure that the church will flourish for years to come. Pastors that are interested in planting a church are able to complete a profile with the ministry, which will be reviewed by the elders within the church. When the application passes the initial acceptance phase, the pastor is placed in a training program. This 10-month Pastors' College helps prepare the pastor for the launch of his planted church. Sovereign Grace plants churches in various areas throughout the United States, Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. Every year, the ministry hosts many unique events geared at Christian worshipers. One of the most important is the WorshipGod conference that is held biannually. Individuals discuss the theology, practice, and delight of God-honoring prayer while spreading the word of Jesus Christ. In 2013, for the first time ever Sovereign Grace Ministries is hosting its WorshipGod conference on both the East and West coasts. The conference will focus on the idea of loyalty, with a particular message for the praise team of a church. Because a praise team works week in and week out, typically without the thanks of a congregation, the conference is designed to encourage and influence them. Newer Sovereign Grace Ministries pastors are welcomed to the yearly Pastors' Conference where they can better comprehend the ministry's mission and values. These occasions are tailored toward getting the word out about church planting. By holding these celebrations and conferences in various cities each year, new pastors in the area might become interested in applying for the program to create and plant a church in an location that needs one. The ministry doesn't quit there. They also have a shop that people can buy anything from songs to reading materials and various other church resources.

Reading materials available from the shop cover a large selection of topics like marital relationship and self-improvement. The reading product is perfect for individual reading, or can be gone over with youth and adult church groups. So whether you're looking for something to better understand your marital relationship or if you're leading a bible study group, many of the books in the Sovereign Grace Ministries' shop are a best fit.
