future church is a two-story house with both a Lower Room and an Upper
Room, and each serves a purpose. A good Lower Room draws people in, but it requires
a good Upper Room to draw people up. Without the Upper Room, the Lower Room goes
nowhere, but a Lower Room that plays its part leverages the advantages of the
institutional church for the kingdom.
it is about engagement in church activity. The Upper Room is the multiplication
funnel—it is about empowerment in mission activity. The assimilation funnel moves from
many to few and the multiplication funnel from few to many. Like the Lower Room itself,
the assimilation funnel can play a useful role in actualizing God's disciple-making vision,
but without something more—the multiplication funnel—it is a dead end; "is not essential
to the church as God has defined it in Scripture, but it is deeply woven into the culture of
most North American nonimmigrant churches that have experienced numerical growth at
some time or another since 1980."
1. Know whether Mancini wants to get rid of the assimilation funnel, leverage it in
tandem with the multiplication funnel, or leave it the way it is and why - Without the

different patterns of movement

3. Know which is more important: funnel feeding or disciple making- "If church leaders
are going to step into the Upper Room multiplication funnel, disciple making must be built
into their job descriptions. To make it more than words on a page, enough must be taken out
of their job descriptions to make room for disciple making in their lives.”
4. Know what happens to the funnel when spiritual growth and spiritual activity become
confused with one another - "If church leaders are going to step into the Upper Room
multiplication funnel, disciple making must be built into their job descriptions. To make it
more than words on a page, enough must be taken out of their job descriptions to make room
for disciple making in their lives”
5. Be able to explain how the assimilation model promotes a lack of ownership in
disciple making and places expectations on the organization, not individual- If church
leaders are going to step into the Upper Room multiplication funnel, disciple making must be
built into their job descriptions. To make it more than words on a page, enough must be taken
out of their job descriptions to make room for disciple making in their lives.

who want an association with him have to eat his flesh and drink his blood
13. Know if the 2 funnels can go hand in hand or contradict each other - Jesus's example

when the priority is in the right place, the two go hand in hand.

15. Know how Mancini describes the church of Jesus
While the whole sample of churches presents a
range of percentages, we have found that typically about 50 percent of those who attend
also connect. Likewise, about half of those who connect—25 percent of the whole—also
serve in the church apparatus on a regular basis. Try as you might to mobilize every
attender, these figures won't budge very far

would joyfully welcome anyone into our congregation and even encourage them to

comes to being joining staff, we would have to ask them to refrain until they have
documents. This is only because we would hate to see them getting in trouble with
officials for serving the

4. Know what Jay Cull said

support membership and volunteering.
