Mission Crisis

Had my weekly meeting with a church planter who I have the privilege to help start a church from scratch. We are trying to get to the core of why the church exists? What is the mission of the church? We believe the mission of the church is simple. To lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. What this means is that each person who comes to faith in Christ, must then learn what it means to be a disciple and then reproduce themselves. Each disciple must disciple somebody. The Church is making disciples, but the disciples are not reproducing themselves.

I believe that every person in the church must disicples somebody in their life. Mom's should disicples their chidlren, dads their friends, husdands their wives, children their friends, etc.

Disciples of Christ make disicples.

We ended our meeting today in frustrated that we have not been doing this in our own lives. We beleive that if the church we start is going to disicples disciples, then it is going to start with us. We are going to step out of the boat and make disciples that make disicples. Stay tuned for what is to come with the church plant.
