Vision
Global Perspective:
GCM's Focus:
- Population growth: 7 billion; 2 billion Christians to reach 5 billion is driving mobilization.
- Therefore, we want to:

- One church for every 1,000 inhabitants;
- Definition of a church: A community of at least 10 believers living according to Acts 2:42 and led by a trained and recognized leader (GCM)
- Helping to plant 103,000 churches or faith communities in 16 countries
The 5 Key Contributions of the Global Movement of Churches (GCM)

Why Collaborate with Churches
