MULTIPLICATION GRANT. Additionally, Church Development offers a Multiplication Grant for churches that have completed the Foundations for Multiplication or the “Developing a Stronger Multiplication Culture” guide, or already has three or more campuses/off-site congregations. These grants are for projects that will result in a congregation of fifty or more in average attendance. The grant will help fund start-up expenses of up to $75,000, paid out over up to three years.
