Disciple-making congregations:
• Focus all activity on Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27). The congregation is organized to make and engage disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world (Matthew 28:18-20);
• Call, equip, and release disciples to pursue their passion and use their gifts to glorify God (Ephesians 411-13);
• Call, equip, send and support spiritual leaders to lead disciples in the Adventure (Mark 1:17);
• Lead disciples to meet the spiritual, social and physical needs of those in the community and world; and produce Acts 2 fruit (John 15:8, 16 and Acts 2:41-47).

Redemptive relationships are key to a discipleship process that truly forms people in Christ to live and love like Jesus. Thanks for your post and the reminder to streamline what we are doing to make disciples.
