The Movement System is a strategic training system, developed by New Thing, to help churches and networks reproduce at critical points of multiplication while collaborating with other churches to plant new churches with the goal of Gospel Saturation. The Movement System exists to help leaders accelerate their journey toward being a Level Five Church at all points of reproduction: disciples, leaders, churches, networks, and movements. We are offering this free of cost as an investment in potential movement-makers like you.
What is a Movement System Catalyst?
The NewThing Movement System consists of 5 Catalysts, or training huddles, each designed to help you and your team reproduce at the five critical points of multiplication. The five points of multiplication are:
Disciples (Reproducing Disciples Catalyst) | Matthew 28:18-20
Leaders (Reproducing Leaders Catalyst) | Timothy 2:2
Churches (Reproducing Churches Catalyst) | Acts 1:8, 2:42-47
Networks (Reproducing Networks Catalyst) | John 17:20-24
Movements (Reproducing Movements Catalyst) | Revelation 7:9-10, Revelation 21
How does the Movement System Work?
Pick a point of multiplication you want to develop in your church:
Disciples, Leaders, Churches, Networks, or Movements. Where do you need to focus your prayers and initiative today? All movements begin with and are sustained by reproducing disciples, so consider beginning there. However, you can choose whatever Catalyst you want, and in any order.

Reproducing Disciples Catalyst | Wednesdays @ 1pm (eastern)
Launching August 6, 2025
The Reproducing Disciples Catalyst (RDC) is designed to help United Brethren churches move beyond Sunday-centric ministry toward a disciple-making and multiplication culture. You’ll learn how to create an environment where disciples make disciples through practical tools, biblical frameworks, and real-life applications. This experience will help your church shift from assimilation strategies to active evangelism and spiritual transformation. Each team will leave with a customized Action Learning Plan for immediate next steps. If you’re ready to pursue the Great Commission in deeper, more intentional ways—this catalyst is for you.
Reproducing Leaders Catalyst | Thursdays @ 1pm (eastern)
Launching September 18, 2025
The Reproducing Leaders Catalyst (RLC) helps United Brethren churches build a culture where leaders multiply leaders. Too often, ministry gets stuck because disciples aren’t becoming leaders—or leaders aren’t equipping others to lead. This catalyst is rooted in five leadership practices modeled by Jesus and focuses on developing a Hero Making culture through practical apprenticeship. You’ll gain tools to empower others, activate spiritual gifts, and clearly measure Kingdom impact. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to shape a church culture where leadership reproduction becomes the norm. Each church will leave with an Action Learning Plan for immediate implementation.
Reproducing Churches Catalyst | Thursdays @ 3pm (eastern)
Launching August 14, 2025
The Reproducing Churches Catalyst (RCC) is for United Brethren churches ready to take the next step in church multiplication—whether you’ve never planted or are exploring new models beyond the traditional approach to church. This experience will help your team build simple, sustainable systems that support healthy, reproducing churches. You’ll learn how to create a culture of multiplication, assess your current capacity, and clarify your strategy for planting or partnering. Whether you’re launching your first church or expanding a network, the RCC will equip you for long-term, Kingdom impact. This isn’t a quick-fix formula—it’s a framework for faithful, lasting reproduction.
Each Catalyst is made up of…
- Eight Sessions Over Two Months: A focused, short-term commitment designed to build lasting disciple-making habits—without feeling like a semester-long course.
- A Reverse-Classroom: Engage 2 hours/week through a user-friendly online course with video teaching, readings, journaling, and practical exercises. Come ready to apply what you’re learning—personally and missionally (Luke 14:25–34).
- Weekly Coaching Huddles: Gather in small cohorts (max 20 people) for support, accountability, and coaching. You’ll experience the same reproducible model we’re training you to lead (Hebrews 10:25).
- After the Catalyst: We help you stay supported and challenged by connecting you with other pastors from our denomination through our Multipliers Network.
