We believe every church is called to multiply.

From the book of Acts to today, the Kingdom of God has expanded when believers are sent into new communities to make disciples and form healthy churches. Church planting is one of the most effective ways to reach people with the Gospel, raise up new leaders, and bring transformation to neighborhoods and cities.

We are part of Open Bible’s national Church Multiplication Collective—a movement committed to seeing every church multiplying and every believer living sent. Here in the East region, we are focused on mobilizing churches and leaders across 18 states to pioneer new Gospel works, from rural towns to urban centers, so that no community is without a vibrant expression of the Kingdom of God.

Why Multiplication Matters

• People are searching – Many have never encountered the Gospel through personal relationships.

• Communities need transformation – Healthy churches bring spiritual renewal and meet real needs.

• Multiplication is our mission – Jesus calls us to go and make disciples, not simply gather.

In a time when fewer people are coming to church, we are committed to sending the church into every neighborhood, network, and nation.

Our Models of Multiplication

We support a variety of proven models that can be tailored to your unique context:

Church Launch Model – Build momentum for a large public launch to make a strong community impact from day one.

Missional Model – Engage your city through relationships, disciple-making, and incarnational ministry.

Micro Church Model – Small, decentralized gatherings that multiply quickly and reach relational networks.

Multi-Community Model – Host multiple communities within one church family, reaching different languages, age groups, or styles.

Innovative Models – Creative, Spirit-led approaches to unique opportunities.
