FAQs

Below is a list of our most frequently asked questions.

What are Catalyzing Movements (CM)?

Catalyzing Movements exist when churches plant multiple churches (>100 churches within a few short years), through Gospel activity, that has abundant fruit among the lost, that multiplies these disciples (people growing in obedience to all of Jesus’ commands), who in turn replicate themselves in others, so that we can see at least four generations regularly produced in multiple streams of disciple making activity and these streams multiply consistently into churches.[1]

Practitioners desiring to see God create Catalyzing Movements engage in fruitful practices that result in groups of Christ-followers who seek to multiply disciple-makers through the power of His Holy Spirit — both around the block and around the world —resulting in a movement of reproducing churches that are defined as Christ-centered groups with leaders who multiply disciple makers.[2]

For more information about CM, visit the Resources section of the Fellowship International website.
