Our Mission

What is the multiply mission?

At Multiply, we are on a mission to equip our family of churches to multiply followers, leaders and churches!

It is our sincere hope that one day we will live in a world where every church is equipped to grow and multiply. But, of course, that is not the case today. 

Very few churches will multiply their efforts to reach new people and areas. So it’s no wonder…

• Few churches today have trained leadership or a way of developing new leaders to start new ministries. 

• To make things harder, in most unchurched and under-resourced parts of the world the population is growing so fast that even the existing churches are struggling to adapt. 

• Millions of churches around the world are operating in scarcity while 99% of western missions funds go to already reached areas.

We need every church to be multiplying, but these struggling churches need our help! This is why at Multiply, we are working to deliver systems and services that give churches the capacity to multiply followers, leaders, and churches - especially those who are under-resourced.

Few ministries today are directly addressing the problem that is stopping churches from multiplying. Churches in under-resourced areas don’t have the capacity to focus on biblical activities that are at the heart of church ministry. This may be because of: government regulation, lack of finances, persecution, cultural pressures, no leadership development…but it has them stuck.

Multiply comes alongside these churches and offers two (2) things: 

1. Support services that give the local church capacity to focus on the things that matter most to the health of their church and community. Most under-resourced churches are stuck in a pattern of burnout and constantly feel overwhelmed, overloaded, and out of capacity to consider growth. To break this cycle/culture Multiply comes alongside indigenous churches to carry some of the burden for them. We use industry best-practices and time-tested processes to relieve the burden of graphic design, legal issues, bookkeeping, financial considerations, sermon research, teaching schedule design, and marketing. Whether temporary or permanent, this reprieve gives local church leadership the much needed rest and space to re-imagine their God-given call to make disciples of all nations. 

With this newfound Ministry Capacity (as we refer to it) the local church and its leadership now have the margin, energy, and ability to work with Multiply on #2.

2. Systems that build followers, leaders, and churches. Through coaching, training, and mentoring the Multiply staff delivers a comprehensive plan to local churches that ensures three (3) things:

a.) Followers of Jesus are equipped to become better followers who develop others

b.) Leaders are cultivated from the harvest of followers

c.) Churches are planted and/or infused with new healthy leaders from the harvest

We call this Mission Capacity because it greatly increases the ability of under-resourced local churches to reach people far from God and plant new churches.
