Unit 3, LESSON 8
MULTIPLICATION – Church Planting Churches
DEDICATED TO STARTING NEW CHURCHES
As leaders on Jesus’ mission to make disciples we believe the best way the church fulfills its mission is through the intentional sending and starting of new churches. Every individual church, and local region of churches, seeks to plant new churches through sending teams of diversely gifted, and tested leaders, who have a heart to see many come to faith and healthy churches established.
