Mission:
Multiply (previously MB Mission) vision is for holistic church planting that transforms communities among the least reached. ICOMB is the product of the mission effort of Multiply. After a group of church plants becomes an association and achieves a level of maturity, they join ICOMB. Until then, they remain a project of Multiply.
