The action of an entity to replicate, forming new entities of like kind, such as disciples, churches, or methods.

A key to enabling disciples and churches to multiply generation by generations is that the methodologies are reproducible; they can be implemented by an average new believer or new church. However, a distinction is made between reproducible and reproducing. The former is theoretical; the latter is proven and being implemented. CPM practitioners evaluate the effectiveness of multiplying models on the basis of whether they are actually replicating.
