Disciple Making Movements

Becoming Disciples who Multiply.

While you hear much about the decline of Evangelicalism and church attendance in North America, Outreach Canada believes this is a time of opportunity. Local churches are providing rich spaces for Biblical learning and equipping, Gospel-informed community, and corporate worship. However, as our communities experience changes in the cultural and generational landscapes, often the points of Gospel engagement change and need to be developed. Disciple-making Movements are providing solutions to these changes around the globe and the principles are beginning to bear fruit in the most difficult frontier: affluent, Christianized North America. 

Key Principles of Disciple-making Movements: 

• The focus is to make every follower of Christ a reproducing disciple rather than mere converts.  
• Simple transferable patterns create frequent and regular accountability for disciples to hear accurately from the Lord, obey Him, and pass it on to others.  
• This requires a participative, small-group approach. Each disciple is equipped in comprehensive ways in order that they might function not merely as consumers, but as active agents of Kingdom advance.  
• Each disciple is given a vision for reaching their relational network and for extending the Kingdom to the ends of the earth 
• Reproducing churches are intentionally formed as part of the disciple-multiplying process.
