Aggregate and celebrate

Platforming what God is up to in Europe, championing the value of reproduction and multiplication. An Exponential Conference should be owned as broad as possible, a platform for all Church planting organisations in Europe, and model churches, denominations and other organisations, but should be narrow in the focus on reproduction and multiplication.

  • Learn

    Create a place for mutual learning, inspiration and empowerment for reproducing and multiplying church planting of all kind in the European context.

  • Share

    Give a space for all involved in church planting on a European and regional level to give their best to the collective body of Christ.

  • Collaborate

    Initiate collaborative learning through cohorts, learning community and other arrangements initiated by people in the network, and through books and content.

  • Envision

    Create a visionary space for a young generation of Europe to ‘Just do it’.
