Society is riddled with false dichotomy… we are regularly told we have to pick “A” or “B” and it cannot possibly be anything other than those two. A church is either attractional with programming that attempts to reach the “seeker” and arrows pointing “inward,” all while saying “Come and See.” OR, the church is missional – all their resources go “outward,” and all energy is directed to “Go and Tell.” This is a false dichotomy – the Bible teaches both “Come and See” AND “Go and Tell” – the Bible teaches “Both. And.”
Multiply Conference 2024 will focus on “Both. And.” How does a missional/attractional church answer the call of Isaiah 6:8 while serving people to unlock their hearts for the Gospel?
Isaiah 6:8 “…Here I am. Send me.”
The Manna Church Multiply Conference
…is a three-day conference held in Fayetteville, NC. Multiply is the centerpiece of Manna’s church-planting initiative. From Tuesday, May 21, through Thursday, May 23, we will dive into the vision of multiplication on the Military Highway and give practical application to the three things we do.
This conference will include main sessions with leaders from the Multiply Movement, breakout sessions on the nuts and bolts of Manna Church, and opportunities for you to get to know others in the global Manna Church family.
What is Multiply?
Multiply is God’s math. When every “add” adds, we get multiply. In brief, Multiply is Manna Church’s strategy to plant churches (Micro-Sites, City-Sites, and Multi-Sites) at every stop on the Military Highway. Each expression of Manna Church features three common characteristics: the same Name, Logo, and Growth Track. The Multiply Conference is all about how we work together to fulfill the vision God has given us.
