Church Planting Movements
A Church Planting Movement (CPM) is a rapid and exponential increase of indigenous churches planting churches within a given people group or population segment. A Church Planting Movement is more than "evangelism that results in churches." Its aim is to see a rapid increase of churches among a given people or language group and so everything from the teaching content, who teaches, when they call themselves churches, and a variety of other factors are tailored for rapid exponential growth. CPM is closely related to Disciple Making Movement (DMM). For more on the topic, see Chad Vegas's article, A Brief Guide to DMM.
