Our passion at Indiana Ministries is to see a multiplication movement that rises out of the grassroots of our churches around the state. We long for God to raise up a growing leadership pipeline of individuals who have a passion to launch new multiplication ventures.
- Cultivating Congregation
- A Cultivating Congregation is a local church that is intentionally working to answer one courageous question, “How will our church multiply?” There is a growing number of Cultivating Congregations in Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan. These Church of God congregations are working hard to discern their church multiplication road. We are thrilled that several of these Cultivating Congregations will launch multiplication ventures in 2018 and 2019!
- Is your church ready to flip the question from “Should we multiply” to “How will our church multiply”? We would love to help get you connected to either a Discovery Group or a Multiplication Huddle to help you wrestle deeply with what it might look like for your church to multiply. If you are interested, email IM’s Multiplication Director Tom Planck.
- Discovery Groups
- A Discovery Group is designed to lead a potential multiplier, church leader or pastor through a process of exploring the landscape of multiplication. This eight-session journey will provide participants with the opportunity to explore the various aspects of disciple making and church multiplication. We’ve learned that if we can get church leaders having the right conversation, then movement begins. Discovery Groups are intended to be the beginning of your multiplication story.
- Multiplication Huddle
- The purpose of a Cultivating Congregation multiplication huddle is to provide an environment for pastors to develop a ministry portfolio that will guide them in launching a new multiplication venture.
- Launch Incubator
- For churches who have determined a clear multiplication path, we have created what we call a multiplication incubator to provide encouragement, additional resourcing, and ongoing accountability to ensure progress for the journey.
- Funding Church
- Does your church have a heart for multiplication, but you aren’t quite ready to launch a multiplication venture? Maybe helping fund a multiplication venture in Indiana is the next best step for you. We would love to have a conversation about several projects that are in need of a funding church like yours. Contact Tom Planck or Doug Talley for more information.
- Sending Church
- A Sending Church is a congregation that takes the bold step of sending some of their own to launch a new multiplication venture. This kind of church behavior is sacrificial, kingdom-minded, and core to the sparking of a multiplication movement. If a grassroots movement of multiplication is going to become a reality in Indiana, we need several handfuls of churches to answer the brave call to send some of their own to start something new.
