NCS Judicatory Consulting: Integrated Healthy Church Multiplication
Holistic, Judicatory Training System
Through trial and error out in the field, New Church Specialties has developed a holistic, 10-part judicatory training system. We agree that focusing on "NewStart" churches and "Parenting" are very critical issues to judicatories interested in starting new churches. But launching and sustaining a movement of healthy new churches requires more than these two components. We have found that a number of other components must be implemented and integrated if a movement of healthy new churches is to take place within a denominational family.
The launching of a movement requires "No Church Left Behind." This requires the building of "shared vision." Shared vision occurs when every church begins to see itself involved in a healthy church multiplication movement. Just talking about NewStart or ReFocusing by itself is incomplete. We must develop a "holistic" training system.
In addition, we must teach "movement loyalty" to both the judicatory and the denomination. People must be challenged to "fall in love with the church" (Ephesians 5:25-27) and "give themselves up" for her, even when she is imperfect. The church is God's plan to bring salvation to the world (Ephesians 3:10). Only when we have loyalty to our movement can we accomplish healthy church multiplication. Our teaching and emphasis on "movement loyalty" is another key factor that makes New Church Specialties distinct from other church training organizations and training systems.
We at NCS offer Integrated Healthy Church Multiplication to judicatories as a proven, holistic system of training that will insure long-term judicatory health and growth.
