The Essential Church

No cookie-cutter formula exists. Each church reaches a unique
community. But we believe the four-phase essential model applies
to any church. Simplify—the church develops a clear structure
and process for making disciples. Deepen—the church provides
strong biblical teaching and preaching. Expect—the church has
an attitude that communicates to its members that they must be
committed to the local congregation. Multiply—the church has
an outward focus, driving to reach people for Christ and starting
new churches.
