Jesus modeled what disciple-making looks like for all who follow Him. It was intentional, relational, community-focused, and rooted in His obedient love for the Father. Jesus built missional relationships that equipped His followers to do the same. You may already be living missionally without realizing it, but many believers don’t know what missional living means.
Each interactive training below helps us reflect together on how to embrace Jesus’ missional heart and follow His pattern. These trainings aren’t simply a “sage on the stage” telling you what to do. You will partner in small and large-group discussions to discover how each of us can draw near to the Father and others in our everyday lives.
Cultivate Disciple-Making
Purpose: We aim to foster a unified, disciple-making church culture by drawing near to God’s heart. We equip participants with spiritual, personal, and practical tools for nurturing others in faith.
The Way of Proclamation
Purpose: As the Father nurtures the believer’s heart, the Spirit of God trains us to utilize our normal life rhythms to help others meet, know, and serve Jesus.
Unity In the Body
Purpose: Jesus sought unity among His followers. How can we experience the oneness Jesus desired? Let’s explore together how we can intentionally represent a unified, diverse kingdom here on earth.
