089: 5 Steps of Church Multiplication - With Director of Multiplication, Rev. Danielle Freed

April 29, 2024

In the Great Lakes Region of the Wesleyan Church, our mission is to equip pastors, leaders, and churches to reach people for Jesus. With this ultimate goal, we challenge the notion that acquiring a church building and conducting weekend services marks the endgame of what Church Multiplication has to look like. Instead, we emphasize the importance of every individual and every church playing a vital role in the multiplication process. Drawing inspiration from Rick Warren, who notes that "It takes all kinds of churches to reach all kinds of people," Danielle explores the five steps each church can take to embark on the journey of church multiplication.  Show Notes & Resources: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rr7pge1usswp66dms_0bpj-19hathfoe/view?usp=sharing
