MAKE DISCIPLES

Not Consumers and Partisans
Jesus’ final command to his followers is to “make disciples” (Matt. 28:19), believers who know and live Jesus’ teachings, evidencing the fruits of the Spirit, and disadvantaging themselves to serve others as Christ did.
Our research found that while we make disciples, our methodologies are missing something. We have too many believers who are consumers, partisans, biblically illiterate, don’t evidence the fruits of the Spirit, or aren’t being transformed to be more like Jesus. This isn’t about creating another program. It's about changing our Church culture so disciple-making is intentional, relational, accountable, and universal.
