What is a Multiplying Church?
A Multiplying Church takes strategic steps—even small, slow, and steady steps—needed to multiply. Multiplying is planting or replanting a church, partnering with a plant or replant, helping a church revitalization, or sending an international missionary.
What are the Strategic Multiplying Steps?
- PRAY for gospel needs.
- Pastors lead their churches to pray regularly and intentionally for gospel needs and priorities.
- PREPARE people and resources for partnership.
- Pastors prepare their people to be part of mission teams to help plants, replants, and struggling churches or core teams who join plants, replants, and struggling churches.
- Pastors lead their church to prepare their budgets to be ready to give financial resources
- PRODUCE disciples and leaders.
- Pastors develop and implement a discipleship and leadership development strategy that produces pastors, planters, and replanters.
- Pastors lead their churches to send these men with partnership as the Lord leads
