About

This custom version of the Church Planter Profiles website has been created as a partnership between The Shenandoah District of The Wesleyan Church and Gateway Leadership Initiative to help potential leadership residents discover their aptitude and readiness for church planting quickly and easily in an online environment.

Church Multiplication Collective of The Wesleyan Church

“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
– Jesus

“I continue to dream and pray about a revival of holiness in our day that moves forth in mission and creates authentic community in which each person can be unleashed through the empowerment of the Spirit to fulfill God's creational intentions.”
- John Wesley

The Wesleyan Church exists to transform lives, churches, and communities through the hope and holiness of Jesus Christ. One of the primary vehicles for accomplishing this vision is to create an environment where the Spirit of God can spark a movement of church multiplication.

In order to encourage, equip, and empower our multiplication-minded leaders, it is essential to provide a supportive ecosystem focused on intentional multiplication. We describe this ecosystem as the Church Multiplication Collective (CMC). The CMC was designed to be an intentional community of District Superintendents and multiplication minded leaders, committed to DISCOVERING, DEVELOPING, and DEPLOYING workers for the Lord’s harvest, until TWC has a transforming presence in every zip code.

The CMC’s role in accomplishing this vision is to:

  • Cultivate a multiplication culture
  • Empower healthy churches to multiply new faith communities
  • Provide workers of the harvest with a world-class support system

By partnering with the CMC and your regional district leadership, you will find yourself more connected, equipped, resourced, and empowered, as you pursue the dream God has placed in your heart.

Gateway Leadership Initiative

Gateway Leadership Initiative's vision is to mobilize thousands of leaders to start new churches out of the culture - churches molded from messy people rising up out of the culture to become the Body of Christ. Our efforts are focused on:
  • Inspiring leaders to start new churches out of the culture.
  • Discovering leaders with the ability and experience needed for church planting.
  • Equipping leaders for starting new churches formed out of the culture.
  • Multiplying new churches as part of the reproducing movement.
