Under the Hood: Learning from Healthy Reproducing Churches

Register Below to Watch on Demand

THIS EPISODE

Clear Creek Community Church is a community on a mission. It’s not just any community. And it’s not just any mission. Both of these center on the good news (or gospel) of what Jesus has done and the truth that following him changes us in real and lasting ways. We are exploring and continually discovering that there is more to life when following Jesus Christ.

The head of Clear Creek Community Church is Jesus Christ. We seek to reflect the gospel and priorities of Jesus in all we do. No decision is ever made that would knowingly contradict his teaching.

Since 2009 we have been actively involved in planting 42 churches (37 of which are still active) in greater Houston through training and resourcing church planters. In addition, Clear Creek launched the Houston Church Planting Network (HCPN), which now consists of over 100 churches from multiple denominations and networks that are committed to planting churches to see Houston saturated with the gospel.

ABOUT THIS SERIES

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.
