Multiplying DisciplesLeader
While being a congregation that grows by addition is certainly more convenient and conventional, what the Dakotas needs is congregations that grow by multiplication.
Multiply Leader is designed to help leaders move beyond growth by addition. Laying a values based foundation for starting a new service or site is what these vidoes will provide.
This program is an effort of the Dakotas-Minnesota Area of the United Methodist Church under the leadership of Rev. Ben Ingebretson, director of new church development.
