Sharable Quotes (#NewChurches):

Everything in the New Testament ties to this idea of churches planting churches together. You’re not planting a church; you’re being sent out by a church that is planting a church. — Vance Pitman

God uses churches of all sizes to reach all kinds of people, and different networks have different emphases. — Josh Howerton

You don’t have to be a large church to be a multiplying church; the size of the church doesn’t determine its significance. — Vance Pitman

There is a massive net gain, not just for the kingdom, but for your church when you become personally invested in planting and multiplying other churches. — Josh Howerton

Multiplication is not something we’re going to consider or treat as an option; it’s something we’re going to do, and it’s driven by a theological and missiological conviction. — Vance Pitman

I love to see our church planters believing that from day one we will multiply. It only happens when we’re trusting God for it. — Noah Oldham
