Global Expansion: Local Churches in Europe Becoming International Church Planting Movements

Since 2008, a handful of European churches and church planting organisations have been responsible for starting more than 1,100 new churches and missional communities. Their vision extends to other European countries and beyond. So where did the vision to become an international church planting movement come from – and what are the lessons they have learned on the way? From working in partnership, to changing leadership dynamics and being aware of different cultural contexts, these churches are setting an example for others who hear the call to move beyond the local to impact the global through church planting.
