Multiplying Missionary Disciples

BOOK NOW

Becoming a missionary disciple calls for a counter-cultural way of living - courageous, sacrificial, a yeast that leavens the batch. Following Jesus changes everything.

The Church is seeking innovation in spiritual formation and disciple-making - disciples that make disciples, growth that multiplies. How do we do this well? What are the practices that grew us as followers of Jesus? Who helped us to bear fruit? How do our churches root us in Jesus and his Kingdom, enabling us to grow fruitfully?

CCX is at the forefront of planting and growing new worshipping communities that prioritise reaching new people and making new disciples. At Multiply 2025, we will immerse you in stories of creativity and renewal from across the Church, equipping you with lessons from the latest research and insights from frontline practitioners, sharing tools that can shape our churches for the spiritual formation of missionary disciples. 

Come and connect with a growing community of diverse practitioners, rekindling our imaginations and creativity with all God is doing across his Church.

Who is Multiply 2025 for?
Every church is called to form whole-life disciples. Multiply 2025 is for every leader and team, of every context and tradition. It’s for anyone who wants to reach new people, in new and renewed ways, with the love of Jesus. 

Researching discipleship

CCX commissioned Eido to lead research into what is helping people to grow in Christ-likeness, making disciples and enabling multiplication. Examine the findings of this research today, ahead of joining us to explore it with others at Multiply 2025.
