Only the best news and commentary on what’s happening in and around the Church. Tim Kirkpatrick and Heath Mullikin are Pastors committed to the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ and this is where we share our hopes and dreams for our denomination.
This conversation was recording in April 2017 at the Exponential Conference in Orlando, Florida. Matt LeRoy, planting pastor of Love Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill, NC, and Cory Doiron, planting pastor of Church for Neighbors in Portland, OR, joined Heath Mullikin and Tim Kirkpatrick to talk about their church planting adventures. Both of these church plants are taking a different approach than many modern church plants and we are all grateful for the diversity of planting styles and approaches in the Wesleyan Church.
David Drury, chief of staff for the Wesleyan Church, joined us at the recent Exponential Conference in Orlando, Florida to talk about second chair leadership, his church experiences, and how an executive pastor type can help the local church.

Missionaries learn the culture and establish relationships, both proclaiming and demonstrating the gospel. As churches form and mature, the roles of the missionary team and the sending church they represent continually change. We customize our field strategy to meet the developmental needs of the receiving church based on its current phase. “Ultimately, the missional church reaches Phase 5—Multiplying Movements—achieving full partnership with the Global Church, increasingly amplifying mission.” Together with the Nepali leaders, we dreamed of a day when a strong, self-supporting Nepali Church becomes a full partner with the Global Church, crossing cultural boundaries, amplifying mission in the least reached places of the earth. Disciples making disciples. Churches planting churches. Networks of churches crossing cultural and national boundaries to start new networks of churches. Multiplying Movements—this is our end game."
