Day 4: Disciple Making Stages & Steps

Disciple Making

Creating a Disciple Making Process

The purpose of the church is not just to gather people, but to make disciples of Jesus Christ (Mt. 28:18-20).  That doesn’t happen by accident.  The planter needs to understand the five stages of discipleship that are outlined in the bible.  Then the church needs to develop an intentional disciple making process to move people from consumers to missionaries.
