The Antioch Way Book Cover

A simple Biblical way to start and multiply churches.

Church planting isn’t just for seminary graduates or already ordained pastors. It’s for everyday believers who are called, equipped, sent, and celebrated by their local church—just like the early church in Antioch.

The Antioch Way is a blueprint for rediscovering a biblical, Spirit-led approach to multiplication. It’s not about importing leaders from the outside—it’s about recognizing and developing those already in your congregation.

Why This Book?​

The church-planting pipeline in America is broken.

  • Bible colleges and seminaries are producing fewer pastors.
  • Existing churches are struggling to replace retiring leaders.
  • Church closures now outnumber new church plants.

Yet, in the book of Acts, we see a thriving, multiplying church—Antioch—sending leaders from within to plant new churches. This book will show you how your church can do the same.

What You'll Discover

A Proven Framework for Multiplication

The Antioch church modeled four essential activities:

  • Call from Within – Recognizing church planters already in your congregation.
  • Equip for Mission – Developing them for ministry outside the church.
  • Send with Support – Releasing them with full backing.
  • Celebrate Like Family – Keeping them connected and encouraged.

Who This Book Is For

  • Pastors and church leaders who want to develop a local church-planting strategy.
  • Believers who feel called to start a church but don’t know where to begin.
  • Denominational and network leaders looking for a replicable model of multiplication.
 

If you’ve ever asked, “How can we start more churches” The Antioch Way will show you how!

Many are trying to figure out what is the future of the Church should look like. Look no further than the Antioch Way. This ancient-future look at sending is what the church needs to recapture its apostolic nature.
