Dear Discipleship-first Friends,
Have you ever attended one of our National Disciple Making Forums? Or, perhaps it’s been a couple of years since you have been able to make it to the Forum? Whether this will be your first time to experience it or your first time in a long time–this is an amazing year to come join us!
We are back in Indianapolis this year to allow the Forum to be accessible to as many as possible. We are thrilled about all of our mainstage speakers as well as the great breakout tracks!
The 2024 National Disciple Making Forum is focused on helping you and your team to create a Disciple Making Culture in your church or ministry. We will utilize the paradigm of culture creation described in the free, downloadable eBook, Disciple Making Culture: The Basics in 10 Minutes or Less.
We are also encouraging everyone attending the Forum to purchase a copy (available in the lobby) of the book by Brandon Guindon, Disciple Making Culture.
The mainstage sessions follow the culture creation paradigm. Here’s what we have in store for you and your team:
