We love seeing what can happen when the Church comes together around a shared mission. Last month at the EveryCampus National Summit, 120+ organizations gathered around one bold vision: seeing a Gospel presence on every college campus in America. Exponential is grateful to be an official partner in this collaborative movement to mobilize prayer, launch gospel communities, and reach the next generation. Right now, more than half of college campuses in the U.S. don’t have a known community of Christians sharing the hope of Jesus. But we believe collaboration and multiplication can change that. Join us in continuing to pray for this next generation. And if you’d like to learn more about EveryCampus, visit everycampus.com.

When leaders come together as friends on mission, intentionality and accountability create real momentum. It’s not competition. It’s the kind of environment that pushes you toward more.

Alex’s journey into leadership began with a simple but life-changing question. Her multiplier, Christiana, asked if she would be interested in becoming a small group leader. That single invitation sparked a lifelong passion. Since that day, Alex has never stopped leading small groups, experiencing a personal transformation that she now strives to share with others. Today, she is a church planter in Tacoma, Washington, continuing the cycle of multiplication that began with that first invitation. Are you ready to discover how you can become a Multiplier?
