THIS WEEK’S EPISODE

Martín Vargas planted Iglesia Real out of a deep need in his community. Forty percent of the people in his community were Spanish-speaking residents, but there were no healthy Spanish-speaking churches in Hollywood, Florida. This week on Under the Hood, Bill Couchenour sits down with Martín Vargas, lead pastor of Iglesia Real, to talk about his church planting story and his heart to discover and develop three types of church-planting leaders in his community and across the world.

Igleisa Real’s vision is “Come in and help us” (Acts 16:9), and their mission statement is “Guide people to know God, change their lives, grow in Truth, and fulfill the Great Commission.”

SERIES DESCRIPTION

A growing number of church leaders are longing for something more than just adding attendees to our services, programs to our churches, and begging week in and week out for volunteers. They long to see disciple-making-based kingdom multiplication. They long to become reproducing churches.

Exponential began wondering what it would look like to build a community of reproducing churches that cared more about WHO they were catapulting and sending forward than WHAT they were accumulating and leaving behind. That led to an inaugural list in 2019 of Outreach Magazine’s (as Outreach 100) list of 100 Reproducing Churches. And that community continues to grow.

Exponential is a growing community of leaders committed to accelerating the multiplication of healthy, reproducing faith communities. We exist to equip movement makers—like you—with actionable principles, ideas, and solutions. With the Under the Hood series of conversations and webinars, you’ll get a chance to hear in more detail what it takes to become a Level 4 Reproducing Church.
