An Epic Journey

When a church launches large it causes the church to become infused with an outward focused DNA, Here is another quote from Church Leaders Insights on the subject:

Keeping the goal of launching large in front of you causes a shift in the early DNA of your church – you will have an outwardly focused mentality from the onset. Churches that launch large tend to stay focused on the unchurched, while churches that wait to launch often get distracted with insider concerns and “taking care of the core.”  Keeping a new church outwardly focused from the beginning is much easier than trying to refocus an inwardly-concerned church.

As I have said before, at Epic Church, we will stand, fight and die on the field of reaching those who are disconnected and far from God.  There are too many people who are dying apart from a saving relationship with Jesus for us to just be caught up in our own “business”.  Launching large is a strategy that, from the outset, causes a Church to focus on gaining converts from the community at large rather than from neighboring churches.

That is one of the reasons we are so dedicated to the idea of launching large!
