4.4 ACOP’s Church Planting Strategy
-
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.

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