Iowa Hot Spots

As we have researched Iowa for potential church planting sites, we have established five identifying factors to consider.

1) minimum of 30,000 population to draw from

2) public high school in the community

3) established IBC church to parent the church plant

4) pre-existing core group interest

5) other evangelical churches in the area
