This phase launches the new chapter on the adopted campus into a season of multiplication and leadership development.
The Grow Phase begins with launch gathering that catalyzes the community into multiplication and leadership development.
Up to this point the adopting team invests their time in a weekly rhythm of meeting new people and gathering them for encounters with Jesus. In this phase a team of leaders from the adopted campus will lead that rhythm on their own and the adopting team will invest in a weekly leadership gathering instead.
What you’ll do in this phase
Host a launch gathering After weeks on campus meeting new students, gathering them together to encounter Jesus, and empowering them as leaders, there is much to celebrate! A Launch Gathering is a powerful way to testify, share stories and celebrate what God has done. It’s also a critical time to gather everyone you’ve met and call them to a vision of becoming a community that follows Jesus into mission together.
Coach students to lead the outreach and gather rhythm.Throughout the Engage the Campus Phase you’ve been practicing a weekly rhythm of meeting new students and gathering them into encounters with Jesus. Along the way you’ve been empowering new students to practice that rhythm with you and your partners. After the Launch Gathering a significant shift happens. Students from the adopted campus should be ready to lead the outreach and gather rhythm on their own with coaching from you and your partners.
Launch and lead a leadership community.In the Grow Phase students from the adopted campus will lead the weekly rhythm of outreach and gathering and they’ll also be starting their own Encounters with Jesus groups. They’ll need training and coaching along the way. You and your partners can utilize your weekly campus visit to launch and lead a leadership community to continue empowering the students as leaders on their own campus.
You can adopt a campus. We can help.
