We want to create a platform and open a conversation around topics on reproduction and multiplication. We do not plant churches, but we want to serve church planters, leaders, churches and networks.
Who we are
Core Essence
Distributing thought leadership
Mission
Together with our partners we equip and serve leaders and teams to resource the local church on the topic of multiplication and to mobilise a young generation for church planting.
Name
Exponential means ‘accelerating multiplication’. That is the core of what we seek to do.
Our values
Create a place for mutual learning, inspiration and empowerment for reproducing and multiplying church planting of all kind in the European context.
Give space for everyone involved in church planting on a European and regional level to give their best to the collective body of Christ.
Create a visionary space for a young generation of Europeans to ‘just do it’.
Initiate collaborative learning through cohorts, learning communities and other arrangements, initiated by people in the networks, and through books and content.
