Stories of Church Multiplication
The Center for Church Multiplication (CCM) supports church multiplication throughout the U.S. through听funding,听coaching,听and prayer. We asked our grant recipients about their love for church planting, opportunities in church planting, and how they connect with their communities.听Hear Erin鈥檚 story in this video:
Church Multiplication听Principles听
The Center for Church Multiplication sponsors听Global Gatherings听around the world where church planters share ideas and learn from each other. Each month, we highlight a church multiplication principle we heard at a Global Gathering or from a church planting team in the U.S. Here鈥檚 this month鈥檚 principle:
Keep Learning.听It鈥檚 important for church planters to participate in learning communities and networks so that they can keep learning new ways that God is building his church in diverse contexts around the world. One way God is expanding his church today is through Disciple Making Movements. The core affirmations of Disciple Making Movements (DMM) are summarized in the recently released statement,听Reactivating the Church as Movement听published by the Motus Dei network.听This statement is a short but powerful call for the church to return to its movemental roots鈥攕imple, multiplying, disciple-making communities that embody Jesus鈥� mission in every place.
