A Letter From Dr. Douglas Witherup

A Letter From Dr. Douglas Witherup

Dear Trailblazer,

Is your heart breaking for a city?
Are you passionate about the gospel?
Do you long to see renewal and awakening?
Do you believe that there are new models and new ways of ‘doing Church’?
Are you passionate about preaching?
Do you love being a part of a growing and thriving team?

Perhaps the Multiply Family is for you.
We are excited about the calling and anointing on your life and we feel compelled to launch you into your destiny. We are passionate about multiplying churches and multiplying disciples.

If there’s something we can take away from the diversity of the New Testament, it is that there are a thousand different ways to ‘do church.’ While we certainly don’t feel that we have the only
way to multiply, we are passionately excited about what God has shown us and where He is leading us.

If this vision and language resonates with you, then perhaps God might be connecting some dots. Let’s embark on this mission—we are better together.

    MISSION OF THE HOUSE

        We exist to Multiply Churches and Multiply Disciples.  We plant churches that plant churches, and make disciples who make disciples by helping people find life, family, freedom and purpose in Jesus.

    Financial Flow of the House

        We believe that there are no limited resources in heaven, but rather, abundance. Our financial systems seek to position each church to operate in the flow of heaven.
