Why "Make Disciples"?

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” 

Matthew 28:18–20
Our vision as a church is to: Engage, Develop and Deploy deep disciples of Jesus. And the only way to see that vision become a reality for us and the next generation in this church is if we completely give ourselves over to this one mission: MAKE DISCIPLES.


Discipleship Resources

Disciple Spaces

Worship

Regularly gathering for congregational worship is God's primary discipling tool for every follower of Jesus. Every disciple of Jesus will regularly gather to sing the Gospel, see the Gospel in the Lord's Table and Baptism and hear the Gospel preached. At these gatherings the entire church meets to "stir one another up to love and good works".

Community

Followers of Jesus have historically met in small groups of men and women for the purpose of discipleship for 2000 years.Gospel Community Groups provide this "living room" disciple-space where these connections are established and where accountability can flourish through confession and encouragement.

Teaching

Sound doctrine and biblical teaching is the life blood of discipleship.Theological education and training provides disciples with the doctrinal truths that will sustain and empower their spiritual lives. This "class-room"disciple-space enables the church to produce deep disciples who possess a proper understanding of the Biblical narrative.
