Anyone, anywhere, anytime can make disciples of Jesus. Because God’s mission has been entrusted to ordinary people – not just professional pastors. Looking at the life and rhythms of Jesus, this session will explore what it looks like to be a well-balanced disciple and to disciple others towards faith in Jesus. If you’ve ever wondered “Could I really do this?”—the answer is yes. You don’t need a title, a platform, or a perfect plan. Just a willingness to follow Jesus and invite others along the way.

The African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child,” reminds us that children are formed within community—faith is no different. Parents are on the front line, but were never meant to do it alone.

In this elective, we’ll explore how the church can come alongside parents, carers, and grandparents—equipping and encouraging them to raise authentic followers of Jesus, and cultivating a culture where faith is nurtured across generations.

In this elective, we’ll talk about how you can use your church website, social media, and email to welcome and follow up with church visitors. We’ll give you some simple steps to help reenergise your communication and get you on your way to doing digital well.
