Congregation-Based Discipleship Cohort
Begins October 5
“Ultimately each church will be evaluated by only one thing. It’s disciples.” (Neil Cole, Ordinary Hero)
Yet, local churches struggle to formulate an approach to helping their members grow to look like Jesus and engage in God's mission.
What if you could help people grow in their faith, connect deeper to your congregation, and identify who God is calling them to serve in the broader community?
With Congregation-Based Discipleship, you'll discover how normal, local churches can go beyond signing up volunteers for ministries to raising up disciples engaged in meaningful mission.
