GACX: a global alliance for church multiplication

What GACX: a global alliance for church multiplication does

GACX, Inc. is a non-profit global alliance founded in 2011 and headquartered in Orlando, Florida, that connects 126+ churches and mission organizations to facilitate intentional collaboration around church multiplication. Operating under the umbrella of Campus Crusade for Christ International (Cru), the alliance addresses fragmentation and duplication in global church planting by providing a shared framework, member directory, measurement tools, regional coaching, and a suite of annual events. Its vision is "one healthy, multiplying, and sustainable church for every 1,000 people on earth," framed against a global context of 8 billion people of whom roughly 2.5 billion claim to follow Jesus.

The alliance's core offerings are a web-based platform (gacx.io) that includes a public member directory, a membership application system, an online giving platform, and a resources library of articles, videos, and webinars. Signature events include the annual GACX Forum (2026 in Dallas, 2027 in Manila—the first outside the US), the Emerging Leaders Summit (Nairobi 2027), and the Women Leaders Network Retreat (Grapevine 2026). Member organizations are categorized as Implementers (church planting organizations) or Accelerators (resource-providing organizations), with multi-country mission organizations eligible for global membership and national alliances eligible for affiliate membership.

GACX's revenue model combines recurring annual membership investments (amounts not publicly disclosed), tax-deductible donations processed through Cru, and event registration fees ($475 member rate, $525 non-member rate for Forum 2026). The organization is affiliated with Missio Nexus, ECFA, and Charity Navigator for accountability and transparency. Since founding, GACX reports that its member organizations have started 3.5 million+ churches and established 450+ partnerships, with operational coordination supported by an 8-person staff and a network of regional coaches.

Direct peers

• Church Multiplication Network: Network equipping churches and ministries to multiply congregations through training, coaching, and resources. Directly comparable as a church-multiplication-focused membership network with shared tools and convening functions.
• Lausanne Movement: Global evangelical movement convening churches and mission organizations for worldwide evangelization and church planting. Directly comparable as a faith-based alliance focused on intentional collaboration across borders and convening leaders through major conferences.
• Acts 29: Global network of church-planting churches and missionaries with membership requirements and regional gatherings. Directly comparable as a church-multiplication focused membership organization with peer accountability and resourcing, though at a congregational rather than organizational level.
• IFES (International Fellowship of Evangelical Students): Global fellowship connecting evangelical student movements across 180+ countries. Comparable as a worldwide evangelical network structured around member organizations, convening events, and collaborative ministry, though focused on student ministry rather than church planting.
• Missio Nexus: North American network connecting mission organizations for collaboration, with annual conferences and member services. Comparable as a membership-based alliance for mission agencies and churches pursuing cooperation and resource sharing (and is already a GACX affiliate).
• Viva Network: Global collaborative network of organizations working for children's wellbeing and church planting in unreached communities. Comparable as a membership-based alliance model connecting mission organizations for collaborative impact with measurement and partnership tooling.
• Redeemer City to City: Global church-planting organization that trains, coaches, and supports church planters in major cities. Comparable as an organization explicitly driving church multiplication globally, though it is a direct implementer rather than an alliance of organizations.

Broad incumbents

• National Association of Evangelicals: U.S.-based association of evangelical denominations, churches, and organizations providing collective representation. Comparable as a faith-based membership body but covers a broader agenda than church multiplication alone.
• World Evangelical Alliance: Largest global evangelical umbrella body representing over 600 million Christians across 143 countries. Comparable as a higher-tier membership organization convening evangelical bodies, but operates more broadly on policy/advocacy than on church multiplication specifically.

Regional players

• Pioneer360 (Pioneer): European mission organization focused on church planting among unreached people groups, with a network model. Comparable in church-multiplication mission but operates primarily in a different geography (Europe) than GACX's North American center.
