New churches are encouraged to multiply another congregation by their third anniversary by joining a network for parent churches. PCN clusters three to five churches together for training, mutual support and prayer. Each church joining the network makes a commitment to start a healthy, growing and reproducing daughter church within an 18-24 month period. Pastors and key leaders receive coaching to cultivate congregational commitment and develop an effective church planting strategy. During each training time, participating teams will receive consultation so that specialized needs can be addressed.
Districts can bring up to eight people per training event.
These telephone consultations will further facilitate the implementation process by developing specific strategies appropriate for each district. Bob is Vice President for New Church Development with CRM and an internationally recognized authority in church planting and church growth. Bob leads seminars, consults and develops innovative strategies for the multiplication of new churches. Bob's ministry continues to expand, working with leaders in more than 20 countries. He has helped cultivate extensive small group ministries as well as developing leaders, programs and ministry systems for various congregations.
