Purpose of Multiply
Pastors and ministry leaders didn’t go into ministry to manage programmes or preside over business and pastoral demands. Yet most find themselves feeling they are somehow running a merry-go-round, a very good one, that is far from disciplemaking, deep transformation and multiplying the church. Multiply is a gathering of pastors and leaders who are committed to making the shift from just doing better and busier ministry to growing a movement of disciplemaking with Kingdom impact.
The purpose of Multiply is to promote disciplemaking movements that connect people to Jesus, train them for fruitful personal ministry, and send them to help fulfil the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). Hosted by Door of Hope Christian Church in Launceston, this two day event will explore core frameworks drawn from the life of Jesus that leaders can use to create an environment for disciplemaking in their sphere of influence.
Who is Multiply for?
If you are a denominational leader, pastor, lay leader, or involved in disciplemaking, Multiply is for you! The content will be designed for leaders, for people who are seeking to shape their ministry into a disciplemaking movement. Multiply will be ideal for leadership teams to work on their disciplemaking pathway together.
Why attend Multiply?
What will happen at Multiply?
We will take disciplemaking frameworks beyond theory and explore how they have been applied in the Door of Hope community. You will have the opportunity to interact with local leaders and see firsthand how these disciplemaking principles modelled by Jesus are used in practice. There will be time in the schedule to think through your own ministry context and begin working on your own disciplemaking pathway. There will be breakout options for leaders involved in leadership at a spiritual oversight or operational level, and options for those who have a generational focus (kids, families, youth, young adults).
What will I get out of Multiply?
Our prayer is that Multiply will inspire you to pursue disciplemaking in your ministry, provide you with some practical tools, and that you will leave with practical next steps. Multiply will be a wonderful opportunity to be motivated by others who are seeking to connect people to Jesus and equip them to be disciplemakers.
