The Foundation of a Disciplemaking Culture: Building a CORE Team to Awaken a Movement

Why do churches need a disciplemaking culture?

At the end of his earthly ministry, Jesus commissioned his followers to embrace a way of life making disciples. He extends that mission to us―a way of life rooted in relationship, focused on mutual growth, intentionality, and transformation as we follow Jesus together. Sadly, the activities and events that dominate many churches too often become an end in themselves and actually distract from discipleship. The Great Commission drifts out of focus of the whole church and becomes outsourced to a spiritual elite.

Justin Gravitt wrote The Foundation of a Disciplemaking Culture to help you lay the groundwork for a disciplemaking movement in your church. In this powerful, to-the-point resource, you will learn how to:

• identify and train other disciplemakers who share your passion and vision
• build shared ownership and excitement for making disciples who make disciples
• maintain momentum that spreads from your core team into the community
• re-vision your church culture around the gospel priority of disciplemaking.

A culture of disciplemaking is built and supported by a disciplemaking foundation. This book will equip you with the tools and strategies you need to take the next step in God’s mission.

Justin Gravitt has been on staff with The Navigators since 2000, where he has planted or grown disciplemaking ministries on multiple college campuses, overseas, and most recently has helped churches across the United States grow intentional disciplemaking cultures. He and his family live in Dayton, OH.
