Making Disciples of Jesus Christ
A Conference Program to promote church growth through:
· Spiritual renewal
· Active disciple making
· Education and practical skill training
· Leader development

This 18-month training and encouragement program begins in January and is intended to equip church laity and pastors to fulfill their mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:19-20).  The long-range goal is to have a 10% increase in membership by 2012.
This training is for key church leaders (Administrative Board and COM members) and all who see themselves as visionary, team players, creative and doers.
