What Is Lifestyle Disciplemaking?
Lifestyle disciplemaking is growing in your faith while at the same time reaching new people for Christ, building them up in the faith, and helping them reach their peers. Not every Christian woman will become a director or small group leader. But every Christian woman has “The Call to Lifestyle Disciplemaking.” It is a lifestyle, not a church program. Disciplemaking can take place wherever women gather.
Lifestyle disciplemaking has three phases:
- CONNECT with those who need to know Jesus,
- ESTABLISH new and young believers in the truths of the faith, and
- LAUNCH growing believers to connect with and establish their peers.
