“Make Disciples.”
“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” - Matthew 28:19-20 | 3. Simplicity
Disciple-making is a church-
wide process characterized by
clarity, movement, alignment
and focus. Complexity breeds
confusion and kills growth. | 3. _________________ a. 1-2 Year Goal b. 3-5 Year Goal |
4. Nurturing Relationships
Only God generates growth,
but nurturing relationships in
small groups are the best soil
to cultivate growth in Christ. | 4. _________________ a. 1-2 Year Goal b. 3-5 Year Goal |

A ship in harbor is safe, but
that is not what ships are
made for. The Spirit fills our
sails as we leave the harbor,
going into stormy seas on a
mission of search and rescue. | 5. _________________ a. 1-2 Year Goal b. 3-5 Year Goal |
