Multiplication Network

What Multiplication Network does

Multiplication Network is a Christian non-profit ministry organization founded in 2007 and headquartered in Sauk Village, Illinois. The organization equips leaders to plant and strengthen healthy churches globally through structured training programs, mentoring resources, and a diagnostic assessment tool. Its flagship product, Take Your Church's Pulse (TYCP), is an online diagnostic survey available via a dedicated platform at tycp.multiplicationnetwork.org that evaluates congregations across ten characteristics of church health through 70 questions, with automatic tallying and graphical reporting of results; a paper-based version is also distributed for offline use. The TYCP platform supports 25+ languages including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, French, and Swahili. Beyond the diagnostic, the organization provides modular curricula such as the 12-module Mission to Multiply church-planting course, the 10-module Stronger Churches program, the Church Planter Retreat, the Mentoring Workshop, the Introduction to More Churches Workshop, and the academic textbook "Planting Healthy Churches" prepared by multi-denominational contributors.

The organization is funded entirely through donations from individuals, churches, and partner organizations, and provides all of its training materials, diagnostic tools, and resources free of charge to end users - a freemium pricing model with no disclosed fees, billing cadence, or paid tiers. Its go-to-market motion is community-led: global hub directors work alongside ministry partners to deliver training to men and women called to plant churches, using both online platforms and in-person workshops. Marketing and distribution run through website content, the monthly Connections email newsletter, the Reaching More Together podcast on Buzzsprout, and a Vimeo video channel featuring field stories (e.g., a Frontline Church profile from Ukraine). Customers are primarily individual church planters and pastors, with a secondary segment of Bible colleges and seminaries adopting curriculum materials. Geographic operations span the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, West Africa, Eurasia, East Africa, and Asia. The organization holds the Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency for 2025.
