3. Would you like to:
• Lead your church to have a clear and
effective disciple-making process?
• Communicate clear expectations to
your congregation?
• Mobilize your Sunday School/Small
Groups to greater involvement in
missional activity?
• Become more effective at making
disciple makers?

4. The Status of Discipleship Today
1. Churches are not effective at
making disciples.
2. The many programs and activities
provided by churches do not
translate into spiritual growth of
people.
3. Independent programs and events
do not function as a process for
disciple-making.

5. Programs vs Processes

6. Diagnostic Questions
1. What process does your church
use to make disciples?
2. Is it working?
3. How do you know it is working?
4. What does God expect of each
member of our church?
5. Are Christians in your church
disciple-makers?

7. How Simple Discipleship Works
• Simple Discipleship helps
leaders build a church
culture of disciple making
by establishing 4 primary
values… each including
embedded biblically-
based application steps
for every Christian.

dimensions of
WORSHIP, WORD, MINIS
TRY, and MISSIONS for:

19. Community Missional Footprint
• Your church’s Community
Missional Footprint (CMF) is a
resulting measure provided by the
compiled Spiritual Vitality
Assessments and the Balanced
Scorecard. The CMF is an
indicator of the connection of your
church to the community. A very
small CMF is an indicator of a
severely declining or dying church.
