Our theme for 2024 is: The Word Does the Work!
The Multiply Method is our defined approach to experiencing the life-changing power of Jesus first in our own lives and then multiplying out into the world.
We believe something needs to change.
Something needs to change in our world, in our country, in our politics, in our communities, in our families, and in ME.
But what is going to bring about that change?
It’s not more education. It’s not new laws or new leaders. It’s not a social program, policy, organization, or therapy.
Only Jesus and His Power is able to bring about the necessary changes in the world and in me.
The Multiply Method is a defined approach to experiencing the life-changing power of Jesus first in our own lives and then multiplying out into the world.
There are three stages to the Multiply Method approach:
We call the first stage: ‘Know Jesus’
The power of Jesus changes individuals one life at a time. We invite this power into our lives to the extent that we come to know and experience Jesus and His Gospel message. So the Multiply Method approach helps people get to know Jesus by learning about and growing in His Word–the Bible–and its message of Good News.
The second stage we call: ‘Make Jesus Known’
In this stage we move from being a receiver to a giver. In fact, one of our mottos in the Multiply Method is “Givers Gain.” In this stage we help individual disciples of Jesus to become disciple-makers. Disciple-makers are people on a mission–helping others experience the life-changing power that we ourselves have already received.
The third stage is called ‘ Live a Jesus Life’
In this stage we take a pledge and become part of a community of people who are eager to see the impact of this process multiplied exponentially in the world.
All real and lasting life change happens in the context of genuine personal relationships. Conversely, no real change occurs in isolation.
We invite you to join a community of people who are dedicated to seeing Jesus change the world!

Public Reading of Scripture helps us remember who God is, who we are, and who God calls us to be.
Many of us want to read more of the Bible. However, we need a good strategy to succeed. The most common strategy today is to read the bible silently on your own. But many people fail to maintain that habit. We can’t rely on church services either, as most worship services only cover a few verses each week.
In 1 Timothy 4:13, Paul exhorted Timothy to “Devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture.” The Public Reading of Scripture (PROS) is a strategy that works. If you listen together for just one hour a week, you will finish the bible about every two years.
PROS works because it provides the accountability of listening together in community. It's simple—no preparation or homework is needed, all you have to do is listen. PROS will help with perspective. Hearing the Bible read aloud with others will be much different than reading alone silently.
For these reasons, we think you’ll find that PROS allows the content of God’s word to sink more deeply into your life.
Bible Steps helps anyone to start reading the Bible and understanding it.
We understand that the Bible can be a bit intimidating, especially as you are first beginning. Knowing where to start and learning how to navigate through the Bible can be a real challenge. So in Bible Steps, we have created a very simple guide and resource to help you really begin to learn the Bible.
You begin by finding and reading 5 simple verses. Next, you get to know about 10 of the most fascinating people in the Bible. After that comes 15 important passages, which is followed finally by 20 of the most famous stories.
The takeaway: You’ll feel intimately more familiar with God’s Word and, therefore, able to experience God’s transforming power.
