What if entrepeneurial small group leaders were asked to equip others to invite people to Christ and multiply small groups?
What if these leaders were asked to oversee the groups of small groups which they helped to initiate?
What if these groups participated in worship and discipleship together?
What if faithful and effective leaders were encouraged to organize a group of groups as a local church?
What if these new churches sought to be recognized by the United Methodist Church, instead of the denomination starting new churches?
What if it was facilitated by a live worship http://live.cor.org?
