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 organizations in Europe, model churches, denominations and other organizations, 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:
To create a visionary space for a young generation of Europe to “Just do it”.
Pursuing Next:
Most productive work happens in the trenches today.
We seek to help leaders be more effective and productive today by helping them see around the next corner yesterday.
Does Exponential plant churches? No.
Exponential seeks to come alongside and serve church planters and the organizations they are affiliated with. We seek to impact church planting by accelerating the multiplication of leading organizations who are planting churches.
