Church Multiplication

Will you be the answer?
Nationally, for every 100 churches that are planted, there are one million people who need to be reached. And with an average of 80-90 people per church plant, we are reaching about 8500 of those one million. In Washington state, which ranks as the 49th least churched state in the U.S., there are only 66 churches for every 100,000 people. More specifically, nearly 90% of the almost 700,000 people in Snohomish County will not be found in a church on any given Sunday.*

Some may look at these numbers and feel overwhelmed or discouraged, but Jesus saw it another way. The harvest is plentiful!

"Then He said to His disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.'"  -Matthew 9:37-38

The Lord is preparing hearts and He has equipped us to gather them. We are the laborers. But how do we live this out?

Church multiplication is more than just starting new churches. It's about impacting a region. God knows each city, each neighborhood and each individual, and He has uniquely gifted specific people to plant churches that invade these communities with the Good News. The more churches, the deeper the impact, and greater the opportunity to reach people where they are.

New Life wants to equip men and women who have a history of loving God and loving others, whose lives are marked by healthy relationships, and whose hearts are stirred by the lost condition of those around them.
