THE THEME

  • Built to Make Disciples is our 2026 Theme. In 2013 Jim Putman and Bobby Harrington published the book Discipleshift: 5 shifts to help your church make disciples who make disciples, which became a best selling church leadership book. In 2026, we will build on the teachings of that book with the most up to date practices that help churches to make disciples. We will combine their learnings with the latest research on the top disciple making churches in North America. 

you will discover

  • Why it begins with the lead pastor and his leadership team. 
  • How leaders create a disciple making culture.
  • What it takes to build a simple effective and reproducible strategy. How everything in the church is aligned Missionaly, theologically, organizationally, philosophically, and relationally.
