4.4 ACOP’s Church Planting Strategy
-
It would need to reproduce (multiply by way of planting another church) to truly be indigenous is my understanding
-
Indigenous churches are defined as self-supporting, self-governing, and self-propagating. If a church has never self-propagated (planted another church) is it an indigenous church? Why or Why not?
If the church never self-propagated it is not Indigenous church. But church need to developed church planting. Lots of church focused on self, scared to release blessings ,it wont grow. The church should encourage members to go join the mission.
Our church support missionaries. Very generous church for mission.

With this definition of an indigenous church a church that has not planted another church would not be defined as an indigenous church.
-
It would not meet the definition of indigenous, because the church must be self-propagating. Of course, that does not mean the church has no value, there can still be some great churches that have no planted or expanded, or even never intend to. But they would certainly be at risk of missing out on the commands in the bible and the value of spreading the Body of Christ as much as they could have been.
