This phase launches the new movement on the adopted campus into a season of multiplication and leadership development.
The Grow Phase begins with a launch gathering that celebrates what God has done and expands the network of missional partners on campus.
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 core of students from the adopted campus take on more and more leadership of that rhythm and the adopting team steps into a coaching role.
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.
Multiply Encounter Groups.After hosting a launch gathering we hope there is a growing community of people who are gaining vision to reach their campus. You can capitalize on this catalytic moment by casting vision for these students to start new Encounter Groups of their own.
Make a plan to grow the movement.As the final step in your Adopt a Campus journey, your coach will help you make plans to continue growing the movement on campus by developing new leaders, reaching out to new students, and continuing to launch new Encounter Groups.
You can adopt a campus. We can help.
