Discipleship for Everyday Churches
How embracing tensions can unlock your congregation’s potential
Tuesday | September 5th | 2:30-3:30pm ET
Making disciples was the core of Jesus’ mission for himself and his first followers. What if local churches made discipleship their central indicator of health and vitality?
In this webinar, Matt Lake will help you move beyond tired programming and utilize the adaptive practices of observing, interpreting, and intervening to discover how any congregation can experience a renewed discipleship reality.
You will learn:
- Why embracing “tension” is a core part of discipleship
- How to get past the discipleship inertia that limits so many local churches
- Processes for crafting purposeful discipleship opportunities for both individuals and your entire congregation
- Tools for measuring your church’s effectiveness in discipleship
This webinar is free and perfect for church leaders seeking to go beyond their programming and see transformation in the lives of their church.
