Grow Course
Multiplication
Growing our churches in numbers, depth and impact will see dramatic changes in our church community and the area around our churches. We will see our congregations respond to God’s love more and invite others to experience this as well. We will serve our communities better and show God’s love to those outside the church as well. But why stop there? Jesus commanded us to make disciples of all nations and Paul planted and nurtured many churches. How can we multiply our ministry and mission so we can have even more impact?
