Goals
A New Vision ...
We believe that God is calling East 91st to be a leader in a dynamic new era of church multiplication. We sense His leading for a new faith-stretching dream – a dream so big and bold, we can only accomplish it by the power of God. The New Testament church witnessed a great harvest of souls as, “the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved” (Acts 2:47).
We want to experience that same multiplication of believers and churches throughout the unchurched regions of the United States and Canada. We believe our goals reflect the heart of God for reaching lost people in the twenty-first century. Specifically, our goals entail the following:
1. E91 will plant 65 daughter churches by 2010.
2. The daughter churches will reproduce themselves. The goal here is to move from addition to church multiplication.
3. We will recruit 25 mega-churches to partner in church planting by 2010 and these churches will plant an additional 50 churches by 2010.
4. We will establish 5 Strategic Church Planting Centers by 2010.
5. At least 5 of our daughter churches will be from among different ethnic minorities residing in North America.
