Disciple Making in the Local Church

Just as our discipleship class took place in Re:Train, there have been a number of great posts about discipleship from around the web. Here’s another one from Thom Rainer about the common traits of churches that are more effective at making disciples

  • The church has an entry point class that all new members attend.
  • Members are expected to attend an open group Bible study. (like Sunday School)
  • Members are expected to be involved in one or more deeper studies throughout the year. (like a small group)
  • Members are expected to attend a corporate worship service each week.
  • Members are expected to be involved in at least one ministry or mission activity a year.
  • Members are expected to read and study the Bible daily.
