“Do you have a vision for your community that cannot be accomplished by your church alone?”
As moderator for this workshop from Exponential East 2017, Wade Burnett starts this vital conversation with a vital question that all church leaders serious about advancing the Kingdom must answer. Burnett talks with Level 5 multiplier and Hope Chapel movement founder Ralph Moore who’s joined by NAMB’s Vice President Jeff Christopherson. The two venerable leaders recently teamed up to write Exponential’s new FREE eBook New to Five: Starting a Level Five Multiplying Church.
In this workshop, Moore, Christopherson and Burnett focus on what it takes to begin at Level 5–bypassing addition lust and moving straight into sowing the seeds of a movement.
Says Moore: “Every church needs to say it’s our responsibility to launch churches.” Christopherson adds, “Theologically, we have no room for Level 3.”
