Why Hubs Matter in the Life of a Microchurch Network

Microchurches are the grassroots expression of the Church—ordinary people living as extended spiritual families, embodying the Gospel in everyday spaces. But even the healthiest vines need a trellis. That’s where Hubs come in.

Hubs are not the center of the movement; they’re the support system beneath the surface. They exist to equip, coach, and convene disciple-makers so that microchurches can flourish and multiply without losing momentum. A Hub fuels decentralized networks of missionaries by:

• Equipping leaders with simple, reproducible tools for mission and discipleship.

• Coaching them for health, resilience, and multiplication.

• Convening networks for encouragement, collaboration, and shared vision.

Without Hubs, microchurches risk isolation, burnout, or fragmentation. With them, disciple-makers are sustained, the Gospel spreads further, and movements endure across generations.

The Hub Primer offers a deeper dive into this vision—why Hubs matter, how they function, and what it looks like to cultivate them in your context.
