Sending Church: Stories of Momentum and Multiplication

Spinoffs are a risky business—a gamble that should only be taken by large, resourced churches that can afford to take the hit. Congregations need to have a certain amount of people or money before seriously considering the insanity of multiplication. Regular churches are off the hook. They can just focus on building up one church, letting others worry about a bigger vision for the region, city, province, or world. Right? Dan Smith, who led the team that started Momentum Christian Church in Greater Cleveland in 2005, doesn’t think so. For their first nine years, Momentum averaged 250 people or less. But the numbers don’t tell the whole story. In obedience to God’s vision for multiplication, the church has created a strong sending culture to help reach more broken people through new churches. In this book, Dan Smith drops stories, parables, insights, challenges, and a lot of humor about being, becoming, or planting a Sending Church. With brutal honesty, Smitty shares the difficulties and rewards of giving before you can afford to give, and sending before you can afford to send.
