We are putting discipleship back into the hands of everyday people.
We exist to know Jesus, follow Jesus, and lead others to do the same. To ignite an everyday disciple-making movement.
A disciple is someone who knows Jesus, follows Jesus, and leads others to do the same.
So what really is discipleship?
“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 ESV
In the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), Jesus calls each of us not only to be disciples, but to make disciples! To make disciples in our homes, at work, and in our neighborhoods. But to do that, we have to ask 2 questions of ourselves.
Am I a disciple?
Do I know how to make disciples?
Everyone is called to be a disciple-maker; that means you!
The goal is for people to become deeply formed disciples of Jesus who spend the rest of their lives consistently making disciples of Jesus.
Where people are
Multiply the process
The discipleship pathway guides people to know Jesus, follow Jesus, and lead others to do the same.
01
Spiritually dead
The person doesn't know Christ yet. They may be curious, skeptical, or hostile.
(Ephesians 2:1)
They need: someone to share the gospel and show them Christ's love.
02
A new believer. They're eager but often confused about the basics, and their faith depends a lot on feelings.
(1 Peter 2:2)
They need: close care, simple teaching ("milk"), assurance of salvation, and baptism.
Infant
03
They're growing but focused on themselves: "Is my group meeting my needs?" They can get spiritually proud or easily hurt.
(1 Corinthians 3:1–3)
They need: the habits of Bible reading and prayer, a place in a small group, and a first chance to serve.
Child
04
Their focus has moved from themselves to God and others. They serve with energy, though sometimes without wisdom.
(1 John 2:14)
They need: coaching, responsibility, and help learning to lead others well.
Young adult
05
A mature believer who disciples others and helps new believers grow through the same stages.
(1 Thessalonians 2:7–12; 2 Timothy 2:2)
They need: encouragement, accountability, and support so they don't burn out.
