BGST: BECOMING AN INTENTIONAL DISCIPLE-MAKING CHURCH (#MS125-KL0-24-S2)

Jesus has called us to make disciples in all nations.

The aim of this course is to provide a theological and practical understanding of the Church’s purpose in disciple-making. Using our Lord Jesus’ disciple-making process as the primary model, the course will cover a broad range of contemporary aspects of developing a practical and versatile approach to disciple-making in the church. This includes developing a church infrastructure and culture that will be conducive to and intentional in disciple-making.

This is a course for pastors, lay leaders and small group leaders to focus on becoming an intentional disciple-making church by growing members as effective disciples who would eventually become disciple-makers themselves. This will allow for church growth in disciples and not just mere numbers.

The course is an elective worth 1.5 credits.
