The key to the future of the church is to multiply: a movement  of the people of God that will engage the community and result in the multiplication of disciples, leaders, small groups, pastors, and churches. (The following is adapted from comments by Kyle Eaton at the NCD Mission Minnesota Breakfast) What does multiplication look like?

Multiplying Disciples

Incarnational outreach to connect sojourners with the gospel and the people of God. Growing all Christ-followers up to maturity to the point where they are multiplying themselves.

Multiplying Leaders

Leading men into God’s Word and Leadership CBT to bring many to leadership in the Body of Christ. Indentify present and future leaders among us and share our lives with them.

Multiplying Small Groups

Forming incarnational, missional community groups led by a growing group of leaders to be the church in neighborhoods and communities; Multiplication of groups both in variety and number.

Multiplying Pastors

Identify those men God is calling to shepherd God’s people in this movement of multiplication by providing a pathway in which to grow in biblical knowledge, character, and application.

Multiplying Churches

As disciples, leader, small groups, and pastors multiply, we send out missional, incarnational groups of Christ-followers to plant churches in each community.
