WHAT'S THE MULTIPLIERS COLLABORATIVE?

The Multipliers Collaborative is a 2.5-day national gathering designed exclusively for churches actively engaged in church multiplication. It’s a limited-invite experience for those who have already taken steps through Learning Communities or Multiplier Events and are ready for what’s next. This is a space for multiplying churches to strengthen relationships, exchange best-in-class solutions, and build lasting momentum together.

  • WHY JOIN THE MULTIPLIERS COLLABORATIVE?

    The churches represented here aren’t asking if they’ll multiply—they’re asking how to do it better, together. 

    This one-time gathering is designed to: 
    - Foster new relational connections among multiplying churches across the nation 
    - Unify and encourage the tribe of planters, sending churches, and network leaders 
    - Share best practices and real-time solutions to the challenges multipliers face 
    - Create continuity and clarity as we move forward together

  • WHAT TO EXPECT?

    - 2.5 days of high-trust, high-value collaboration 
    - One national gathering with no repeat sessions
    - Learning from the churches leading in multiplication nationwide 
    - Whiteboard conversations, practical solutions, and peer-led insights 
    - Space to build meaningful, long-term relationships with other multipliers
