You will be invited to become more intentional about making disciples in your ministry setting. In this four-session time of learning, Jeff Campbell will cover:

  • Investing in making & growing disciples: bringing clarity to the ‘What’ ‘How’ and ‘Why’ of making disciples. Offering tools to bring the ‘Why’, ‘What’, and ‘How’ back to your ministry setting. 
  • Creating an intentional discipleship system (or pathway) - unique to your church’s context.
  • Discipleship begins with relationships. Equipping your disciples with the right heart and motivation for disciple-making.
  • Tools for Seeing All the People & Engaging Your Community
