Multiply 2025

Multiplying Missionary Disciples

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 were immersed in stories of creativity and renewal from across the Church, equipped with lessons from the latest research and insights from frontline practitioners, and encountered tools to shape our churches for the spiritual formation of missionary disciples.

Review all that went on in the resources below.
