Vision:

[bctt tweet="Ministry is connecting people to God, to others, to serving, and the lost." username="stanlubeck"]

1. Reproducing is Biblical.

2 Timothy 2:2 (ESV) and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.

2. Reproducing is normal

The healthy and mature naturally reproduce. We are born to reproduce.

3. Reproducing is good stewardship.

• People

• Resources

• Finances

4. Reproducing leads to exponential ministry expansion.

Others are invited to participate in God's thing as new leaders join the movement.

5. Reproducing campuses increases impact

Taking ministry to the needs of the people, rather than waiting for them to come to us.

6. Reproducing campuses inspires a missionary mindset.

People see their world impact, beyond just the local benefits.

7. Reproducing health leads to a healthy organization.

It takes healthy leaders to reproduce healthygroups, services, and campuses. Self-care is essential for reproducing consistently over time.

Leadership Questions:

[bctt tweet="Am I living a life that is sustainable and worthy of reproduction? Whether a person burns out or rusts out the result is the same, they are OUT!" username="stanlubeck"]How do we care for and equip leaders to thrive over the long haul of ministry.

Strategic Process

Connect people:

• to God through Worship Services

• to others through rich community

• to service through ministry teams

• to the lost through relational evangelism. We invest time and resources in others, then invite them to "come and see", what Jesus is all about.

Ministry Action Plan

Reproduce:

• Leaders - we can't reproduce groups unless we reproduce leaders

• Groups

• Services

• Campuses
