2
Build Disciples for Lasting Growth
- Church growth should develop fruit-bearing disciples who reflect the principle in John 15:8.
- Train disciples to minister effectively, then equip them to train others, following Mark 3:14.
- Support varied ministries for children, youth, adults, and music as interconnected sources of growth.
- Send prepared members on evangelism drives while training continues, reflecting Luke 10:1 and Acts 13.
3
Catechists: Mobilise the Church
- As reported to the 2025 Asante Presbytery Session, the presbytery has 791 churches and preaching points.
- The report lists 186 ministers, 481 catechists, and 237 caretakers, highlighting catechists’ broad reach.
- Catechists mobilise the congregation for ministry rather than carrying the entire workload themselves.
- They proclaim Christ consistently in worship, outreach events, and personal conversations (2 Timothy 4:2).
4
Equip, Serve, and Follow Up
- Equip members for ministry through evangelism teaching, practical workshops, and mentoring in spiritual gifts.
- Coordinate outreach such as food assistance, charity projects, and mission trips that demonstrate Christlike love.
- Create follow-up pathways through small groups, mentoring, and discipleship courses for new believers.
- Help converts become rooted in Scripture, prayer, worship, fellowship, and the wider church family.
5
Connect Outreach to Member Welfare
- Healthy growth connects disciple development, soul winning, facilities, and the welfare of church members.
- Address practical needs alongside ministry, following the early Church’s response to concerns in Acts 6:1–15.
- Catechists can shepherd the process by coordinating evangelism, training, outreach, and sustained follow-up.
- Mobilised believers can share the gospel so people know Christ and grow in grace and knowledge (2 Peter 3:18).
