Church Planting Laboratory

Because of the historical relationship of Ashland Theological Seminary and the Brethren Church, the North American Church Multiplication Institute is an active partner in a regional movement focused on multiplying Brethren congregations in the Ohio/Indiana region.  Through the use of endowment-derived subsidies, active strategic consultation assessment, training and coaching support, the NACMI is directly involved in assisting the Brethren Church in developing and growing this regional initiative.  

This partnership gives the Institute on-going primary data and hands-on experience regarding North American church multiplication through this Regional Brethren Church Planting Laboratory.  Through NACMI’s Ohio One-A-Day Symposium this regional movement coordinates and shares best practices and mutual learning with at least seven other denominational initiatives focused on multiplying churches in the state of Ohio.  If you are interested in supporting or participating in this movement, please contact Bill Ludwig at <bill@brethrenchurch.org>.
