Overview

A pathway for going to new places with God.

We want to help leaders, ministries, and churches go to new places with God. The Great Commission’s genius is an exponential people movement under Jesus’ authority to all nations and generations. The Holy Spirit empowers this movement from here to there, our Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. (Acts 1:8)

Each lane is meant to provide a meaningful opportunity to travel together with Family Church and Family Network. A larger number indicates an increasing level of engagement and mutual investment.

2 Lane 2

Family Network Disciple Making Church

2% of annual church revenues

Training and coaching to become a disciple making church through Family Network investing in the key staff and leaders of your church for this paradigm shift.

A “core team” of disciple makers will be developed as an engine of change. Simple and reproducible disciple making tools, curated training resources, coaching of “multipliers”, and other supportive ecosystem shifts would be offered.

The goal is a dynamically growing disciple making church with 2nd, 3rd and 4th generations of disciple makers increasing.

Jesus is currently leading nearly 2000 disciple making movements (DMM) worldwide, and we want to learn from and join in his global Christian movement.

The Lane 2 Disciple Making Church would contribute 2% of their annual church revenues to the Family Network for this catalytic relationship.

3 Lane 3

Family Network Resourced Church

3% of annual revenues for a two-year renewable commitment

Building on Lane 2 as a Disciple Making Church, additional resourcing will engage a Lane 3 church.

Four primary resources are offered to revitalize the church:

1

Expositional preaching resources on the life of Christ, Book of Acts, the Person and work of the Holy Spirit, and more. This includes the full manuscript of messages, PowerPoint visuals, small group discussion guide, and an outline handout with blanks for notes by the congregation. Two to six years of effective messages are available now, including 300+ messages. Coaching is provided.

2

Dynamic Children’s Ministry training at your location or by Zoom, with additional tools for volunteers, staffing templates, and coaching for an effective children’s ministry that reaches families for Christ. This may require your church to have a subscription to Wonder Inc. as well as Family Church.

3

Intergenerational worship consulting, staffing tools, song lists, and coaching to raise up a devoted congregation as worshippers of God.

4

Community-building coaching and templates for effective teams in hospitality, café, security, and facility management.

The Lane 3 Resourced Church will share with Family Network 3% of their annual revenues, for a two-year renewable commitment.

4 Lane 4

Family Network Full Partner Church / Leader

Churches: 4% of annual revenue. Leaders: 2% of ministry-earned income for first three years, then 1%.

Associated fully under the Family Network 501(c)(3) as a member church or leader. This includes spiritual covering and legal affiliation, but does not include the transfer of property, assets, or liabilities.

Each church remains their own entity and receives the benefits of training levels 1–4 while moving in partnership with Family Church through the Family Network.

The member church gives 4% of their annual revenue to build with the Family Network, in order to start and strengthen churches through our shared capacity for support, continued growth, and mission.

All leaders who come under Family Network for development, ordination, and care would give 2% of their ministry-earned income as an offering for the first three years, and 1% later.
