We Are Recipients of God’s Favor “We don’t deserve it, but for some sovereign reason, God has chosen to bestow His favor on our work. It is not just because we’re good, or professional, or our team is gifted or we’re good communicators, or competent, or growing in our fields. There are many people in the world that are gifted and competent...”
We Are Recipients of God’s Favor What is happening in the ministry of NCS ultimately is because God has chosen to grant us favor with Him and with other people. It’s not something WE create, it is something He chooses to give. This is why we will always hold the ministry He gives to us, lightly…

What we do at NCS is capture, catalogue and communicate the bestpractices in building healthy church multiplication movements
Movement Definitions . . . • NewStart- the start of a brand new church, anglo, ethnic, multi-cultural, etc. • ReStart- starting a new church using a former building and/or remnant group of people. The denomination is usually involved, the former church leadership team is dissolved, a new team is formed, and then much like a NewStart.
Movement Definitions . . . • ReFocusing- the process of re-capturing the vision & heart of Jesus from an “inward” to “outward” focus • Parenting - taking personal ownership of a NewStart or ReStart project to multiply the kingdom, may be 1 church or a group of churches together
Movement Definitions . . . • Climate- the prevailing attitude toward church health and church multiplication held by a critical mass of lay and pastoral leaders
