Multiplication Mindset

Hoarding Mindset

• When do we get to start a new class or group?
• Our class is getting large, who can we send out to start another one?
• Constantly draws attention to the new people we would not know had the new class not existed.
• Focuses on who is not there yet.
• Intentional relationship building with lost and unchurched persons
• Loves the challenge of starting a project from scratch.
• How can we meet the needs of the community?
• Celebrates sending out leaders.
• Success = reproducing groups and leaders
• The fields are white unto harvest – let’s penetrate the community. (go to the community)
• Flexible and adaptable
• Enjoys meeting new people
• Starts imagining how God will use new leaders before they even show up at church (they may connect via ministry in the community first)

• How can we keep them from splitting our class?
• When do we get to move into a larger room?
• Constantly complains because we just don’t know all the people in the church any more
• Focuses on who is there
• Intentional relationship building with the saved and the churched (and usually a select group within that category)
• Loves keeping things as they have been (and maybe always will be)
• How can the class and church meet our needs?
• Moans if leaders are “taken” from the class.
• Success = lots of people present on Sunday
• Limited view of reaching – they know we are here. (Buildings, programs, etc. will bring the community to us.)
• Rigid and predictable
• Uncomfortable among new people
• Wants new people to pay their dues before serving in leadership roles of any kind
