The Church Multiplication Collective pathway
Four stages help pioneers and churches understand what comes next and move forward together.
Discover the vision. Discern the calling. Develop what is needed. Deploy with support.
Two roles in the journey
The pathway serves both. Pioneers clarify and prepare for a new work. Churches develop, release, and support the people they send.
For the pioneer
Clarify the calling, understand the context, and prepare for the kind of work God may be inviting you to begin.
For the sending church
Develop leaders, discern the right multiplication model, and learn to release and support people well.
The pathway
People move forward when there is clarity and readiness, not simply because time has passed. Each stage has a purpose and a decision.
