Just as in the now age old illustration in "Spiritual Redwoods" , these leaders are networking below the surface for back office support. One might offer the support system for evangelism another for discipleship. Younglife uses this model in their "Church Partnership Model" something that I strongly support. Perhaps a specific example is how multiple churches (or the church plants via the parent church) can share the same "Hosted CMS solution". This type of partnership can reduce the cost to each church (well below the $10/member average cost), maintain autonomy and privacy of all data, and provide access to more program/ software solutions than otherwise might be affordable to each church. There are other examples of this type of catalytic partnership that include fellowship, HR, accounting, missional, and software solutions. New business models are popping up across the USA to provide what independent churches have never had, and denominational offices have failed to provide satisfactorily for well over 30 years.
