4.4 ACOP’s Church Planting Strategy

[Kimberly]

With this definition of an indigenous church a church that has not planted another church would not be defined as an indigenous church.

[Lorna Anne]

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.

[Melany]

It would need to reproduce (multiply by way of planting another church) to truly be indigenous is my understanding

[Brandon]

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
