The evidence of a healthy church is seen not only in the daily, disciple-making activity of each Christ-follower, but also in the unified purpose of reproducing that effort in new ways and in new contexts. Local churches that unite in this purpose become so significant in shaping the culture of a region, a country, and a world. Thatʼs why ReproducingChurches.com exists - to be a catalyst for collaboration among local churches that share a passion to reproduce themselves and to unite them to be the church in new expressions throughout the region of Central Florida and beyond.
The purpose of this post is to introduce ReproducingChurches.com and further explain our values. We hope that the content herein will provide a thorough understanding of what we think matters most about the local church committed to reproduction. We hope this will serve as a guide and a foundational piece for network discussions, both locally and regionally. Without info like this, false assumptions can often be drawn about a group or networkʼs intentions. We believe that the content here will help to avoid those false assumptions. Finally, we foresee this blog as a
practical tool that will increase conversation, effectiveness, and efficiency with regard to the everyday efforts of the network strategies and participation.
Reproducingchurches.Com officially began in January 2007 when 2 existing networks united to become a sentence in the grander story of the reproduction of churches across Central Florida and beyond. Some very diverse approaches came together around a kindred philosophy to attempt to communicate a DNA reproducible in any context, to coach leaders who emerge toward a contextual strategy, and to call local churches to partner together to support and send those leaders to plant and water Godʼs message into peopleʼs lives while God blossoms His church in that specific community.
