Churches that multiply

Don’t tell anyone but I don’t read many other blogs. I like books. Especially case studies on church planting movements.

So that’s my excuse for being 11 months late in telling you about a study on the 25 top multiplying churches in the US. Hopefully they are working on a 2008 list.

Ed Stetzer has published his reflections on the list under these headings:

From Expansion Growth to Exponential Growth
Transformational Leadership
Growth as a By-Product
From Denominational Plans to Local Church Passion
Comprehensive Support
From Sponsorship to Sacrifice
Equipping and Releasing
From Generic Plants to Intentional DNA

Truth is, you could be a mega church or a house church. You could be an emerging-missional church or an attractional church, you could be any kind of church. . . but if you’re not multiplying, you may be winning the battle but you’re losing the war.

Thanks Brad.

If you mean my coaching ebook then have a look on the site for Tom Wymore’s workbook. And visa versa if you were talking about Tom’s.

The key to becoming a good coach is a simple model plus plenty of practice with peer feedback.
