## What the Summit is

The Multiply Summit is an annual gathering designed for church leaders, pastors, and their teams. It is one focused evening of leadership development, spiritual renewal, and celebrating what God is doing through local churches across the Southeast. Through a keynote, expert-led breakout sessions, worship, and intentional connection, attendees leave inspired, encouraged, and better equipped to lead.

## Who attends

- Lead pastors and senior pastors
- Executive pastors and ministry directors
- Church planters and revitalization leaders
- Ministry staff (worship, kids, youth, groups, missions, communications, operations)
- Lay leaders and elder/deacon teams

## The six-stage church journey

Multiply Summit teaches that every healthy church is on a journey through six markers. Breakouts and main-stage content are organized around these stages so leaders can pinpoint where their church is and what the next faithful step looks like.

### 1. Align
Get clear on mission, vision, and values so the staff, elders, and key volunteers are rowing in the same direction. Without alignment, growth fragments. With it, momentum compounds.

### 2. Attract
Make first-time guests feel expected and welcomed so they actually come back a second time. Covers signage, hospitality, follow-up, digital first impressions, and weekend service flow.

### 3. Gather
Turn the crowd into a community. Build weekend worship and small groups that move people from anonymous attender to known and connected.

### 4. Assimilate
Create a clear discipleship pathway with obvious next steps — membership, baptism, serving, groups — so people don't fall through the cracks between Sunday and the rest of the week.

### 5. Grow
Develop spiritually mature believers and leaders who can reproduce themselves. Includes leadership pipeline, theological depth, and practical disciple-making rhythms.

### 6. Multiply
Send people, plant churches, raise up campus pastors, and start new ministries on mission. The end goal of every other stage.
