Kingdom

NEO360 focuses on expanding the Kingdom of God through starting new churches. This focus means we leverage business leaders, churches, denominations and other networks to rapidly fund the start of new churches throughout our region.

• At three new churches per year for the next twelve years, we would start 36 new churches by 2020 in Northeast Ohio. However, even if all those churches were running over 500 people, it would not even make a dent in the 4.1 million people in our region.
• Therefore, God is calling us to advance the kingdom through multiplying churches.

Exponential

• In 2007, we started three churches. Those three will start another church in their third year.
• We believe this is a sustainable pace: for every new church to reproduce itself in three years. In addition, we believe we can start three new churches every year.
• This would mean we go from three new churches in 2009 to twelve new churches in 2011. Thus, progressing exponentially to 27 churches by 2014, 63 by 2017, and 135 by 2020.

Funding

Funding an exponential strategy is the only way NEO360 can fulfill God’s call to reach our city. In order to exponentially start new churches, we must see our funding increase exponentially as well.

• $1.8 million by 2011
• $5.4 million by 2014
• $12.6 million by 2017
• $27 million by 2020
