4.4 ACOP’s Church Planting Strategy
-
If an indigenous church is self propagating by definition, then if it has not done so, it would not be indigenous by definition. It’s a curios definition as perhaps a more truly indigenous church would not be the one that propagates itself, but that one that has been birthed or planted from another local church. It is the offspring so to speak of a church that is truly the indigenous ones, in which case there are probably not that many around. But, if in the new movement we can have churches plant other churches and embed within the DNA of those new churches the need and thrust to start new churches as part of their foundational ethos, that might begin to turn the tide.

Base on the information it has not meet the requirements to be categorized as indigenous church. It has not grown to be able to able to multiple itself. Being able to duplicate your self need strategy.

Based on this definition, no, because they need to be self-propagating.

I church that has never self-propagated cannot be an indigenous church as by definition they are meant to reproduce. A sign of a thriving church is one that grows beyond its walls and plants a new church, not only to reach new congregants, but raise up a new set of leaders
