Measuring our progress as we equip leaders, share the Gospel, and establish multiplying spiritual communities.
The 3+1 Strategy
Our strategic roadmap focuses on engaging three primary audiences to drive one multiplying metric (+1).
Jacksonville Spotlight
In 50 years of full-time ministry, this is the first time I've seen five generations of disciple-making in my own discipleship chain.
Ben applied our Sent 6:7 church multiplication tools. His disciple Paul is now planting multiplying congregations.
Frontline Stories
Real moments of transformation, discipleship, and spiritual multiplication shared by our staff members.
"In January we started two new discipleship groups. Bruna is from Brazil. She is definitely a 'fourth soil' leader who continues to invite others to our faith community. She helped double the size of our group."
"We had an amazing time investing in the refreshment, encouragement and training of nearly 20 church planters, their spouses, and their kids in New England! God's Spirit was evident in all of our times together."
"The local FCA staff team and I partnered to create a Victory Beyond the Cup introduction meeting for pastors and church-leaders. Over 50 attended! Also, seven guys in our jail Bible study were baptized last week!"
"Ian from Williston, North Dakota has seen a prayer movement consisting of mainly oil workers grow up to 300 participants. They meet every Wednesday at 5:30 am and are seeing men surrender their lives to Jesus every week!"
"During our discipleship meeting, we introduced the practice of 'Spiritual Breathing'. Heidi said: 'I have done confession before, but I never considered inviting Jesus back on the throne of my life moment by moment. It's such a non-condemning gift.'"
"We have loved doing Becoming a CoJourner training with a new church in Liberty over three weeks. We've never done it this way before, but it was so fruitful and encouraging! Celebrating the wins each week was life-giving."
The CFCM Residency
The Cru Fellowship for Church Multiplication (CFCM) is our year-long church-planting residency cohort designed to equip leaders to launch self-sustaining, multiplying local churches.
"CFCM was incredible! The content and connections were amazing, and I loved the conversations at our tables at the Life in the City event."
— Angela, CFCM Graduate
