What are you doing to disciple adults in your church? Often the answer is, “We don’t have Sunday night discipleship classes anymore, so we’re not really doing anything right now.” But, discipleship is more than an event or a program. It is a strategy combined with a process. Louisiana Baptist churches have access to a series of videos that you might want to use to gather ideas on how to develop or tweak your church's discipleship strategy and process. It is entitled, Becoming: 4 Church-Tested Strategies for Developing Adult Disciples.
