Lifetogether undertook one of its most ambitious projects helping to direct and produce over 700 of the leading voices in the Assemblies of God worldwide fellowship of churches at their national conference in Orlando, Florida. After seven full days and a dozen mobile studios, we produced, wrote and designed 40 different DVD teaching series including a twelve-volume Leader Training Series and a global campaign. For the first time we also developed English, Spanish, Women’s & Youth DVD Editions.

One word sums up the Association of Related Churches: life-giving. You hear it in their teaching and you see it in their relationships. Last year, Lifetogether had the privilege of producing a new series titled Lifegiving Relationships based on the teaching of over 70 of the largest churches in their network and the teachings from their entire lead team including: Greg Surratt, Stovall Weems, Rick Bezet, Randy Bezet, Christine Caine, and Joe Champion with contributions by Brady Boyd, Todd Mullins, Willie George, John & Lisa Brevere & many more. This project is a new model where we are now producing entire networks, movements and denominations on one project.

The independent Christian churches are an innovative movement of pastors and churches who desire to serve their communities and reach the lost. Lifetogether produced a breakthrough series titled Life On Mission: 40 Days of Mission that included teaching from 100 leaders of the largest Christian churches in the country, including Tim Harlow, Dave Ferguson, Dave Stone, Gene Appel, Jud Wilhite, and Kyle Idleman with additional content by Alan Hirsch, Lee Strobel, and many others. This series was published by Rick Warren’s Saddleback Resources and rolled out to 10,000+ churches in their network at their annual convention in 2014.

The Lifetogether team traveled East this week to attend the Exponential East 2017 Conference in Orlando, Florida where we gathered with 5,000 pastors.  This is the third time we have attended the exponential conference and it continues to be a growing force in not just church planting but how church is going to be done in the future, especially as it relates to a spiritually reproducing church planting model.

Some of the most interesting projects have come from the United Methodist and Wesley traditions, where the heart for reaching a community through the power of community is embedded in the DNA. As a result, we have had a high level of response from some of the thought-leading United Methodist churches, and we’ve also learned a great deal. We share some of these insights in this video that highlights several models of growing United Methodist churches. Some of these are more traditional churches and some of them are among the most progressive and contemporary churches in the United Methodist movement.

At Lifetogether we have now partnered with seven of the top ten churches in America, and over fifty of the largest churches in America. We have produced custom video small group curriculum for more than 500 megachurches from every denomination, geographical region, and ministry network. Many of them are, like Willow, more seeker-focused and many of them serve as Willow Creek host sites. Below I’ve listed a number of recent projects that we have produced over the last few years. We have been privileged to work with all of them – and we’ve learned a lot from each one! 

Producing the 40 Day campaign strategy and the first Purpose Driven curriculum series for Rick Warren opened many doors for us. For the last 10 years, we have produced over hundreds of curriculum for senior pastors, church leaders and best-selling authors including Dr. David Jeremiah, Max Lucado, Randy Frazee, John Ortberg, Tony Evans, Jonathan Falwell, and over 50 of Outreach Magazine’s list of largest and fastest-growing churches. 

Many multisite churches around the country are discovering the power of producing their own in house alignment campaigns with a video curriculum series and full-color curriculum that not only get their entire congregation into small groups but get everyone on the same page.
