If 100 churches plant 100 churches in ten years, what is the growth rate?
About 7.5% -- that is the stronger growth rate during the last years of the DAWN 2000 movement!
And almost double the current growth rate!
If 1 church plants 1 church in ten years, what is the growth rate?
That is also 7.5% growth . . . Can each church in your group plant one
church in the next ten years?
Our current estimated growth rate is about 4% AAGR
Planting a church at this rate means each church plants another church in 17+ years
Can we improve upon this?
