God is moving the Missionary Church from a church planting movement to a church multiplication movement.
Our church planting committee continues to pray and look for the future. God has given us a great vision as we consider the Great Commission He has put before us.
The National Church Multiplication Team exists to encourage, equip and empower the Missionary Church to do our part to disciple the whole nation through multiplying missional leaders, missional churches and missional districts all across the United States.
Our vision from 2006-2010 is to:
- Plant as many as 250 new churches
- Equip and develop multiple new district ministries within existing districts and unclaimed states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Alaska.
- Assist existing districts in multiplying new districts.
- Engage one in every two churches in the challenge of parenting a new church.
- Assist every district to fuel a church multiplication movement within their own district. This network is established to foster genuine relationships, share resources and develop systems to multiply churches. It will result in all existing districts having a district church multiplication director, a church multiplication team, a strategy for multiplying churches and systems for multiplying churches.
- Assist every district in having an effective strategy for building a prayer base, recruiting, assessing, training, coaching and mentoring.
- Identify and empower 50 Missional Leaders to develop and equip Missional Teams to establish and multiply Missional Churches in 50 major metropolitan cities across the United States.
By 2010 we believe God will have developed a church multiplication movement that will result in growing the Missionary Church to over 700 churches.
This vision requires an increasingly strong prayer base, a growing team of gifted church planters and lay people and an expanding financial support base.
In establishing new districts the Missionary Church will focus on beachhead church plants that will result in strong churches and a multiplying movement.
