About this title

Synopsis

Any church that desires to see its adults, youth, and children move progressively into deeper levels of discipleship will find help in Charting a Course for Discipleship: A Workbook on Christian Discipleship. Focused on the mission of the church—“to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world”—the book provides clear directions in the face of the question, “How do we do that?” Grounded in John Wesley’s understanding of growing in grace as a lifelong spiritual journey, this practical guide provides a ten-step process for congregations to use to develop an intentional disciple-making plan that fits who they are. Numerous churches of various sizes and locations around the country have already used the steps successfully, developing their own well-thought out plan, gaining commitment from the whole congregation, and realizing a new energy as people see more clearly the way to a deeper relationship with God. Charting a Course for Discipleship is a result of those experiences, providing other congregations with tested principles and proven worth as they too accept Christ’s call to make disciples for the transformation of the world.
