MULTIPLY Network

What MULTIPLY Network does

Multiply Network is an internal ministry of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC) that operates a national church multiplication and planter training program. Its mission is to inspire, initiate, resource, and champion new disciple-making communities across Canada, with the stated objective of ensuring every Canadian has an access point to the Gospel. The network serves aspiring and credentialed PAOC ministers, church planters, lay leaders, and pastors who are evaluating or actively launching new churches or campuses; documented users include Joseph Friedland (Brossard, QC), Rob Good (Promise Church), and Wendy Payne (Manitoulin Community Church).

The core product set is non-software: a 10-question online Church Planting Survey as the standardized top-of-funnel intake, a structured 6-module training curriculum covering topics such as relationship with God, team building, discipleship, healthy culture, community engagement, and marketing, one-on-one mentorship with experienced coaches, and a monthly video resource library contributed by PAOC church planting leaders. Underlying technology is limited to a content website (paocmultiply.com) for hosting videos, the survey, and credentialing links, with no proprietary platforms, APIs, SDKs, or mobile applications identified. Distribution is led by a field network of nine named district representatives covering all ten PAOC geographic districts across Canada.

The business model is denominational rather than commercial. Multiply Network is funded through PAOC channels, does not publish pricing, and provides its services free of charge to PAOC credentialed ministers and prospective planters. There are no external investors, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, no disclosed revenue, and no independent incorporation identified beyond its operation within the PAOC Ontario headquarters at 2450 Milltower Court, Mississauga. Program leadership rests with Paul Fraser as Multiply Network Co-ordinator, with the distributed district representatives serving as the primary delivery layer.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• ARC (Association of Related Churches): ARC is a cooperative church planting and revitalization network providing assessment, coaching, and resources to planters across many denominations. Comparable to Multiply in its coaching-driven, multi-region model, but operates at a larger U.S./international scale and accepts planters from diverse denominational backgrounds.
• Acts 29: A global church planting network that recruits, assesses, trains, and coaches church planters with a multi-denominational, missional ethos. Highly comparable to Multiply in its training-plus-mentorship model, though it operates internationally and is independent of any single denomination.
• Converge (formerly Baptist General Conference): Converge is a Baptist-affiliated church planting movement that trains, assesses, and coaches planters across North America. Comparable to Multiply in its denominational sponsorship, regional rep model, and emphasis on church multiplication strategy.
• Church Multiplication Network (Church of the Nazarene): CMN is the Church of the Nazarene's denomination-internal church planting arm — the closest structural analog to Multiply Network as a denominational ministry that recruits, trains, and resources new planters within a specific Wesleyan-holiness tradition. Same parent-of-network architecture as PAOC/Multiply.
• Vineyard Church Planting: The Vineyard denomination's church multiplication initiative, focused on identifying and training next-generation planters. Functionally parallel to Multiply Network within a charismatic-evangelical tradition with similar theological roots to PAOC Pentecostalism.

Broad incumbents

• Send Network (North American Mission Board): Send Network is the Southern Baptist Convention's church planting arm — a much larger, U.S.-anchored denomination-affiliated network that recruits, trains, and funds new church planters. Directly comparable in mission and methodology to Multiply Network, though at substantially greater scale and with external funding.
• Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC): Multiply's parent organization and the broader denominational body. PAOC operates credentialing, district governance, and missional resourcing across Canada, of which Multiply Network is one specialized ministry — relevant as the institutional context in which Multiply exists.
• Presbyterian Church in America Mission to North America (MNA): MNA is the church planting division of the PCA — a denomination-internal network analogous to Multiply in structure (training, assessment, coaching planters within a confessional tradition), though serving a different theological stream and geography.
