The Cru Fellowship for Church Multiplication will equip you to:
- Reach the lost in a wise, clear, authentic and relevant way
- Establish new believers in their walk with Jesus and develop them into faithful disciples
- Equip faithful disciples to become fruitful workers in the harvest - those who make disciples and multiply spiritually
- Entrust fruitful church planters, their team and gospel workers with the work of multiplying vital churches for everyone, everywhere
CFCM is an apostolic-multiplication community. You will have the opportunity to become part of an ongoing peer-coaching learning community of leaders who are committed to see the church multiply.
The Fellowship course goes from September to June annually.
The Cru Fellowship for Church Multiplication has in-person and online elements.
There are three in-person sessions with special opportunities to develop as field-practitioners.
- September 16-19, 2024 – Orange County, CA
- January 27-30, 2025 – Fort Lauderdale, FL
- June 5-7, 2025 – Kansas City, KS/MO
Additionally, there is one two-hour session monthly.
All participants will have a self-chosen accountability partner and eventually be placed in a Peer-Coaching Circle.
