What is the Synergy Initiative?
Mobilizing Trained Disciples To Multiply Healthy Churches Together.
Synergy
In 2019, 4,500 Protestant churches in North America closed their doors for good, while only 3,000 Protestant churches were started. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, making an already-concerning situation worse. The Synergy Initiative seeks to help reverse this alarming trend.
Synergy is the combined power of a group working together that is greater than the power of individuals working separately. This initiative aims to help students plan strategically to go together with others, and invest their energies, talents, and efforts in planting, revitalizing, and multiplying churches. As Cedarville continuing education students join up with other church members who are equipped to do the work of ministry, the combined effect of their efforts will accomplish, by God’s grace, abundantly more than only a couple of pastors in a church doing all of the work on their own. Thus, the goal is to equip students to finish this course of study ready to help establish and strengthen local churches throughout the nation and around the world.
