DMM TRANSITION OPTIONS

The following are the different ways to incorporate DMM into an existing church. 
 
Bless
  • Catch the vision & don’t resist, but bless movement work in your area. Pray.
  • Pastor Role: Any pastor can do this without pushback.
 
Release
  • Catch the vision & don’t resist, but bless movement work in your area. Pray.
  • Release some of your “radicals” to be trained by a DMM trainer & sent as missionaries from your church in your city.
  • Pastor Role: Most pastors can do this, but will likely need leadership approval since the radicals may be some of the best givers/volunteers.
 
Hybrid
  • Catch the vision & don’t resist, but bless movement work in your area. Pray.
  • Release some of your “radicals” to be trained by a DMM trainer & sent as missionaries from your church.
  • Add a DMM track in your church that you publicly promote & invite people to join (hybrid).
  • Pastor Role: Some pastors may be able to get leadership approval for this, but will be more difficult than the release level because it becomes a public focus of the church.
  • Resources: Spent Matches. 
 
Transition
  • Catch the vision & don’t resist, but bless movement work in your area. Pray.
  • Release some of your “radicals” to be trained by a DMM trainer & sent as missionaries from your church.
  • Add a DMM track in your church that you publicly promote & invite people to join (hybrid).
  • Leverage everything in your church to support the DMM vision (transition).
  • Pastor Role: Few pastors will probably be able to do this unless they are a founding pastor or have been there long-term and can get leadership & congregational buy-in.
 
Relaunch
  • Catch the vision & don’t resist, but bless movement work in your area. Pray.
  • Release some of your “radicals” to be trained by a DMM trainer & sent as missionaries from your church.
  • Add a DMM track in your church that you publicly promote & invite people to join (hybrid).
  • Leverage everything in your church to support the DMM vision (transition).
  • Send out everyone to plant DMM churches or join other churches (relaunch).
  • Pastor Role: Even fewer pastors will probably be able to do this unless they are a founding pastor or have been there long-term and can get leadership & congregational buy-in.
  • Resource: From Mega church to Multiplication. 
    ​
Notes:
  • Some Pastors recognize that their churches will not want to join this journey with them and will feel led by the Holy Spirit to resign & pursue it separately from their church.
  • Some Pastors will feel led by the Spirit to stay with the church & take the church on this journey with them.
  • Hybrid, Transition & Relaunch definitely require you to count the cost as it could result in some division in the church.
  • The most important thing to do is exactly what the Spirit of the Lord is telling your church to do. Rev 2:11
