5 Strategies

Jesus’ instruction to his workers is clear: we are to go into all the world, make disciples, and teach them to obey everything that Jesus commanded. If the church is to have any strategy at all, it is to have strategies that produce obedient disciples of Christ. The purpose of our work is not to just plant churches, but to plant churches that produce obedient disciples.

What we teach is a simple, yet biblical, method of planting churches that will produce obedient disciples. The teaching is centered around five strategies:

  • Pray
  • Speak Out
  • Gather
  • Obey
  • Send Out

These five strategies are found in scripture in stand-alone commands and many parables. The five strategies serve as our dashboard for producing obedient disciples.
