BUILD DISCIPLES
Transforming Lives by making disciples who think feel & act like Jesus!
WHAT IS DISCIPLE BUILDING?
Disciple building is a biblical imperative, a primary task for the Church (see Matthew 28:19-20).
It is the process by which mature believers, in cooperation with God’s Spirit, assist younger believers as they progress in their faith toward Christlike maturity, intimacy with God and good works. The goal of disciple building is maturity that glorifies God.
“We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete (mature) in Christ.” (Colossians 1:28)
“Therefore, go and make disciples of all peoples, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matt. 28:19-20)
DISCIPLESHIP CULTURE
Extensive research, coupled with decades of disciple building experience, has enabled WDA to help modern disciple builders design and implement a culture of discipleship based on the pattern Jesus used in Scripture to build the Church.
More than just a program, Christ’s approach to becoming a Disciple Building Church is about:
- Life-on-life discipleship
- Equipping the saints for ministry and discipleship
- Breaking down strongholds that prohibit growth
- Teaching people to obey everything Christ has commanded (see Matt. 28:20)
- Building disciples who build disciples
- Cultivating a healthy, safe, and mature environment where growth never stops taking place
WDA helps YOUR church become a Disciple Building Church.
WDA can help a church develop their disciple building environment, big picture to small details. They’ve really nailed a comprehensive disciple building methodology derived from Scripture.
