Lay-planting

Equipping everyone to multiply the church

We believe that everyone has a part to play in church multiplication, helping to reach new people in new and renewed ways with the love of Jesus.

The courses and resources of CCX can equip everyone, lay or ordained, to step into a role that works for them. CCX has decades of church multiplication experience and learning to share with you.

You could be the leader of a plant team or a member, called to serve an estate or pioneer a new community, a volunteer or a financial supporter. Working together, we can start, grow and revitalise worshipping communities in different contexts and church traditions – all are needed. Visit our course pages to find out more.

A former stream of CCX, Myriad is now a separate charity that holds a specific call to inspire and equip everyday people to form new church communities and make new disciples.
