CHISPA: Creando Una Cultura de Multiplicación – Hosted by Exponential Español

La realidad hoy en día es que la mayoría de las iglesias están estancadas o en declive. Menos del 7% de las iglesias se reproducen alguna vez. ¡Es justo decir que la multiplicación no es la norma! Para ver que las iglesias colectivamente comienzan movimientos de la manera que Jesús quiere, primero debemos ver que las iglesias valoren y practiquen individualmente la multiplicación de líderes y la plantación de nuevas iglesias.
En esta sesión de pre-conferencia, traeremos la experiencia de los eventos CHISPA de Exponential Español a Exponential. Comenzaremos 4 conversaciones que son temas vitales para la multiplicación: Adoptar una mentalidad del Reino, Multiplicar discípulos, líderes, misioneros y hacerlo en colaboración.

Speakers: Obe Arellano, Hector Hermosillo, Rodrigo Cano

How to Help Your People Understand and Engage With the Holy Spirit – Hosted by Dandelion Resources

Most churches are nervous about more openly embracing the work of the Spirit – sometimes for good reason! Yet flaky theology, bad experiences, or lack of positive role models shouldn’t stop us from building cultures that are genuinely naturally supernatural.

In this pre-conference you’ll see how to develop a biblical and transferable theology of the Spirit, and how to help your people understand and engage with the Holy Spirit in their everyday lives, whatever your denominational or theological preference.

You’ll learn how to build a culture of response, and practically develop prayer ministry in your group life and public services, so that you can wisely steward the gifts of the Spirit in ways that are pastorally wise, invitational, and biblically rooted.

Speakers: Alex & Hannah Absalom

Moving from Addition to Healthy Kingdom Multiplication – Hosted by Exponential

This preconference will help equip church leaders with the process and understanding to accelerate healthy Kingdom multiplication. Attendees will gain confidence and clarity to begin to break free from addition-oriented thinking and to embrace a sending and releasing culture necessary for multiplication.

This Pre-Conference will discuss the “5 Levels of Multiplication” to help you:
• Understand the context of your current situation
• Understand the 5 Shifts necessary to move from an addition mindset to a multiplication posture
• And give you practical guidance on what to expect on the journey

We’ll also introduce the “3 Dimensions of Multiplication”: Disciplemaking, Mobilization, and Capacity and how they can translate into Multiplication.

Speakers: Bill Couchenour, Larry Walkemeyer, Ben Connelly

Starting, Leading, and Multiplying Networks of Disciple-Makers and Microchurches – Hosted by Exponential Next

Now is the time for a return to the microchurch in the West for biblical, cultural, and missiological reasons. We are well past the proof of concept. Ordinary people can and will lead these simple expressions of the church. Microchurches are a potent relational environment for disciple-making, and they are also adaptable and scalable enough to fill a city with a gospel presence, a gospel proclamation, and a gospel demonstration.

Join in with the Kansas City Underground as we explore:

• Organizing Identities for a Microchurch Movement
• Disciple-Makers, Microchurches and Gospel Saturation
• How to create and multiply a culture and system for Decentralized Leadership
• The Training Pathway and Ecosystem to Equip Disciple-Makers and Microchurch Leaders

Speakers: Rob Wegner and Kansas City Underground

Strengthening Your Heart as a Woman in Leadership – Hosted by Exponential Next

We will spend time reflecting on what is going well, what is hard, what is confusing as well as what you are dreaming as a woman in leadership.  Share your reflections and receive feedback in safe circles with other women leaders.  

With a passion for creating safe circles, Sue Ferguson and Janet McMahon will guide you through exercises and conversations that create space for you to hear from and connect with God and others.

Sometimes what we need is more connection, not more content.

Speakers: Sue Ferguson and Janet McMahon

I love what Exponential is doing to focus on multiplication, specifically the mission to see the percentage of U.S. churches that ever reproduce increase to greater than 10%. That’s a mission worth giving our lives to.
