Description

The common denominator in the Bible for the mission of the church is Jesus’ Great Commission in Matthew 28, “Go and make disciple of all nations, baptizing them..."

The church, as envisioned by Jesus and the apostles, was designed to grow in personal spiritual development and in numbers of converts. In New Testament times the organizational patterns were based on the discovery and use of the spiritual gifts of members.

Is your church still using that model?

From Spectators to Disciples will take you or your church leadership team (board of elders, church board, or strategic planning committee) through a process that will lead to the adoption of the New Testament model.

You will learn from the following chapters:

• Building a Growth-Oriented Philosophy
• Discipleship is a Verb!
• Developing an infrastructure for Growth
• Basic Principles for Growth
• Church Styles and Personalities

Packed with useful surveys, helpful diagrams, and group assignments, From Spectators to Disciples will challenge your church to involve every member in ministry!
