“The National Discipleship Forum puts the critical conversation around discipleship at the forefront, and I’m so grateful to be able to learn alongside people deeply committed to what discipleship looks like in our day and time”. 
Drew Hyun
Hope Church, Emotionally Healthy Discipleship
“The heartbeat of Jesus’ church is to make multiplying disciples. Sadly, our pulse has become faint. Yet with the coalition of disciple making ministries under the banner of the National Disciple Making Forum, I have never been more hopeful that the patient (the church) can be revived.
Greg Ogden
Chairman of the Board Global Discipleship Initiative (GDI)
“As we each seek to develop a local discipleship culture, the National Disciple Making Forum provides so much biblical inspiration and practical coaching from experienced practitioners! I love learning from what others are doing, and being fueled up with greater faith for what could be.”
Alex Absalom
Dandelion Resourcing

What to expect
The Experience
Join 1,500+ Like-Minded Disciple Makers
Actionable Content

The National Disciple Making Forum is 2 full days of actionable, proven, practical content from top disciple making practitioners who have been in your shoes and have successfully initiated disciple-making strategies. 

We don’t focus on “conceptual thought” or “theoretical strategies” in any of these sessions. Everything you hear at the National Disciple Making Forum consists of tested, biblical, disciple-making methods proven to multiply disciples.

You’ll leave the Forum on day 2 with notebooks full of actionable strategies that you can apply immediately.

Inspiration

It’s one thing to have a desire to make disciples. It’s another to follow through with an actionable plan.

That’s why we put leaders on stage who are actually living out these teachings. Be inspired by real-life stories, strategies, and insights from keynote speakers like Jim Putman, Shodankeh Johnson, Jason Houser, Alice Matagora, and many more.

You will leave the 2023 National Disciple Making Forum feeling inspired to take your disciple making efforts to the next level, but most importantly, you’ll leave the 2023 National Disciple Making Forum with a PLAN — a plan to multiply disciples and make an impact in your ministry, your family, your community, and more!

Life-Long Relationships

With 1,500+ attendees, you’ll meet the people who’ve been in your shoes, faced the same challenges, and overcome the same obstacles.

You’ll forge strong relationships with fellow disciple makers from every background, culture, and walk of life. 

You will leave the 2023 National Disciple Making Forum having formed life-long friendships and strategic partnerships with people just like you.
