4.4 ACOP’s Church Planting Strategy
-
No, by this definition the church would not be an indigenous church because it has not rooted and multiplied.

It would seem as though it would not be indigenous if it does not self-propagate. I suppose it would be linked more to the work and influence of an outside source as opposed to being able to reproduce on its own. Reminiscent of a disciple vs a disciple-maker.

If a church never self-propagates, it is not considered an indigenous church. We are called to be disciple makers and if we are doing this effectively, we would need to plant other churches because we would not have enough space in our building for the new people. The heart of all churches should be to plant other churches with intentionality so that we can carry out the great commission.

It would not meet the requirements to be called and indigenous church. The dna that is needed to fulfill this role should be exhibited in the culture of the body
