Beginning with a crucial decision by Mercy Road Church, Multiply Indiana was born.

With vision for the entire state, the group has multiplied 18 churches on their way to 100 by 2030. They hosted recent event, "March for a Million," anticipating a couple of hundred people gathered in Monument Circle in the center of Indianapolis. More than a thousand showed up.

The crowd represented 72 congregations from across the state. Each one committing to make disciples who can make disciples with a secondary motive to plant churches. Jon pastors a strong, sacrificial church along with his role as operations director for Multiply Indiana. The interview presents the fun, chaos and learning necessary to launch a similar network. They've moved beyond adding churches to multiplying from within.

If you are considering ways to extend the gospel, this interview will provoke some new thinking and even give you a pattern you can use as a starting place. Every community is different and each congregation has its own particular calling but Jon presents a good place for beginning and then modifying to suite your purpose.
