Core Discipleship

37% of believers say that they are not making disciples because they don’t feel qualified or have not been trained to make disciples.

By God’s grace, our ministry exists to provide a simple, proven, scalable, transferable, and biblical discipleship process that anyone, anywhere, and at any time can use to make disciples.

All discipleship training and discipleship resources are provided at no cost. You’ll discover how you can start and sustain disciple-making relationships. After you’ve completed our training, here’s the process.

Founded in 2001, we provide free discipleship training and free discipleship resources:

  • Free Online Interactive Real Time Training: People from around the world enroll in our online discipleship training courses. We teach them how to make disciples.
  • Free Resources: We provide proven, quality discipleship resources for churches and individuals.
  • Support: As led by the Spirit and approved by our Board of Directors, we financially assist disciples and ministries who successfully complete our training and who are actively making disciples.

Love God. Love Others. Make Disciples.

Core Discipleship is on a mission to make disciples by providing every believer and ministry with free, proven discipleship training and resources that transform lives, help people engage the Bible, build relationships with God and others, and to make disciples who make disciples.
