METHODOLOGY OF MULTIPLICATION

Chapter Five

The Church and Its Mission

This chapter defines the church as a fellowship of believers, not just an organization (I Peter 2:5). It discusses various denominations but stresses unity in Christ (Ephesians 2:11-18). The church’s mission is to spread the Gospel globally (Acts 1:8), with every member equal in responsibility to multiply disciples. The chapter outlines the early church’s close fellowship (Acts 4:32-33) and encourages believers to engage actively in ministry, emphasizing that the church’s purpose is to facilitate spiritual growth and outreach, not merely to exist as a structure.
