Indigenous: something that is able to survive and reproduce within its own geographical elements and climate without any aids or props.
In reference to a church: a self-supporting, self-progagating, self-governing body that is culturally relevant and scriptural.
We hear a lot about indigenous churches. What does it all mean? It means that in order to start effective reproducing churches we are going to have to insist that they are indigenous from the 'git go'. Starting these kinds of churches is in line with the Pauline example. They maybe baby churches, but churches nonetheless.
