CATALYSTS
COUNCIL
100 movements is driven by a core group of movement catalysts who have a domain influence in the church in their area of leadership and calling. They lead organisations, ministries, and movements that are seeking to create a tipping point towards movemental Christianity. This group is supported by the MLC staff and board.
There is a spiritual council of 15 Leaders that serves as a reference point for culture, strategy, and direction.
