Jesus told us to make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20).

His process of making disciples was relational, intentional, and holistic. He invested more than three years nurturing the spiritual growth and the development of 12 regular guys. As they traveled and faced different situations, Jesus explained, showed, and taught what each meant from the perspective of God’s Kingdom and truth. He also formed close, personal relationships with His disciples.

When we ask believers around the world, “Have you ever heard a sermon series, taken a class, or been taught how to make disciples?” the answer is almost always no. Research shows that believers aren’t making disciples because they feel unqualified or haven’t been taught how.

Discipleship and making disciples are essential for every Christ follower. To keep it simple, discipleship is teaching about Jesus. Making disciples is teaching a disciple how to make disciples who make disciples.

Core Discipleship is a ministry focused on equipping individuals and churches to make disciples by providing free online discipleship training and resources, aiming to help people grow in their faith, engage with the Bible, build relationships with God and others, and ultimately become disciple-makers themselves.

Jesus chose people just like you and me to be His disciples and for us then to make disciples. If you are born-again, committed to loving and obeying God, you are qualified to make disciples. Following Jesus, you’ll learn that His way of making disciples is simple and practical. You will learn how to make disciples!
