More Churches - Church Planter Training

The More Churches Pathway is a strategy for the planting of healthy churches. Leaders are challenged to start new churches with this proven strategy. Practical skills, biblical training, mentoring, and follow-up form part of this intensive action/reflection model. Step 1 is the Introduction to More Churches vision workshop is a one-day event that answers the important questions church leaders have about the need to have a vision for multiplication. Next, the Church Planter Retreat is a three-day intensive workshop that provides the basic tools to build an action plan and to begin the task of starting a church. Step 3: Mentoring workshop for the mother church leader who will accompany the new church planter through the process. Then the 12-module training process called Mission to Multiply provides just-in-time training and support both for ministry and for life. At the end of the modules, a celebration is encouraged of the progress made toward the development of a new congregation.

Stronger Churches - Church Revitalization

The Stronger Churches Pathway is a process to strengthen the local church. Evaluative tools help assess the church’s health and vitality, leading to strategic planning to enter into a preferred future. Step 1: The Introduction to Stronger Churches is a one-day workshop that inspires church leaders to keep a congregation focused on its task as God's incarnational agent in a particular place. Step 2: The Take Your Church's Pulse serves as a tool for evaluation and planning for the local church. The pre-module TYCP result serves as a baseline. Step 3: The 12 Training Modules for Stronger Churches provide modular training for congregations with the same training essentials and dynamics that church planters are trained successfully with all over the world. Step 4: The Take Your Church’s Pulse tool can be repeated to assess the level of health in the congregation. Step 5: By improving its health, the congregation can now celebrate what it is becoming by God's grace.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

We want to see a healthy church representing the Kingdom of God in every community. We aim to accomplish this by equipping leaders with the tools they need to strengthen and multiply healthy churches.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

We have two important programs that will help us accomplish our goal of healthy churches in every corner of the globe. The first is the More Churches program. This is a module-based program that lasts about a year. We begin with a one-day workshop to educate the leaders about the challenges and tasks needed to begin a new church. This will help them analyze whether they are ready and called to handle such a task. The second step is "The Church Planters' Retreat," a three-day intensive workshop that provides the basic tools to build an action plan and begin the task of planting a church. Once they complete this step, they have a month of reflection and prayer. They have time to clarify the plan, discuss it with their families, the supporting church and mentor and process the information. Step four includes monthly modules that provide the church planter with training and support for ministry and day-to-day life. At the end of the year, if everything has progressed toward the development of a healthy congregation, the church planter graduates and continues to grow the developing congregation.

Our second program is called Stronger Churches, which is a process to strengthen the local church. The leaders of the church first attend a one-day conference that explains key aspects of effective ministry and the functions of leadership. This prepares the leaders to guide their churches on a path towards greater effectiveness in their ministry. The church goes through a self-evaluation called "Take Your Church's Pulse," an instrument that enables leaders to assess the level of health in the congregation and evaluate key areas of ministry, addressing both quantitative and qualitative factors. After this step, church leaders work with their congregation to build a strategic plan, which identifies the elements they determine to be the most important to the health of the congregation and the steps necessary to have a larger impact on their community. We offer the church a toolbox of strategies designed to help their church target the specific areas of ministry they wish to develop. As a church meets its self-determined goals, it celebrates what it is becoming by God's grace and through the power of the Holy Spirit. It is then challenged to consider planting a daughter church.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

We have a talented and driven team across the globe who seek to see a healthy church representing the Kingdom of God in every community.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

We currently have a presence in more than 60 countries in Latin America, Asia, Africa, Europe, Eurasia, and North America. We are partnered with numerous (more than 150) church denominations and ministries in those countries.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

President

Dr. John Wagenveld

God began preparing John Wagenveld for international ministry at an early age. John was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan. But when John was two, his family moved to Argentina to serve with Christian Reformed World Missions (now Resonate Global Mission). John's post graduate education reflects his dedication to the idea that church planting should be front and center on the missions agenda of churches. He received a B. A. in Theology from Dordt College and an M. A. in Missions and Church Growth at Calvin Theological Seminary. John received his Doctorate in Ministry from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. John has authored several books, including Take Your Church's Pulse. Multiplication Network was birthed in 1999. As John traveled widely, he saw the need for more tools and training for churches to become healthy and then to catch the vision to plant daughter churches. John lives in West Michigan with his wife and children.

CFO/VP of Operations

Tim Maxwell

Tim Maxwell brings a wealth of understanding of international ministry finance and ethics to his role as Vice President of Operations, CFO, with Multiplication Network. Tim comes to this position with more than 20 years of service with Mission Aviation Fellowship, Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability and Bible League International. Tim was born in West Africa to missionary parents. He lived in five countries where his parents were "impassioned to serve the lay leaders of the church, training them in the Scriptures to be reproducing Christ-followers." The mission of Multiplication Network resonates in Tim's heart. Tim holds the responsibility to ensure trust, accountability and integrity remain highest priorities throughout Multiplication Network. He monitors operations and communications, always being sure we are "doing what we say we do." Tim and his wife, Sharon, and their youngest son live in Northwest Indiana.
