A disciple-making church culture is what your church actually does in disciple making; strategy is your plans on paper. Unfortunately, while we…

Multiplying disciples is the primary way churches grow and multiply. When you look at the early church, the disciples multiplied and the church grew. In (Acts 6.7 ESV) we read, “And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests…

“What if you could impact the world without traveling 100 miles from your town? Jesus did that.” How did Jesus do that? You have to have a very clear strategy of making disciples who make disciples.
