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.

Catechists: Mobilise the Church

  • 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).

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).
