Disciple-making
Discipleship
The North American church has a strong “church culture” but often lacks a “disciple-making discipleship culture” that Jesus calls us to in Matthew 28. As a result, we celebrate good things at the expense of ultimate things, which creates a culture that is antagonistic to the kingdom movement Jesus longs for.
2027 Disciple Making Discipleship (DMD) Summit
Reignite the Movement. Multiply Disciples. Advance the Kingdom.
What could happen if every disciple of Jesus embraced their calling to make disciples?
The Disciple Making Discipleship (DMD) Summit brings together like-minded leaders—including pastors, church staff, marketplace leaders, both men and women—who are passionate about re-establishing and cultivating a biblical culture of disciple-making.
Together, we’ll explore how to build a culture where disciple-making isn’t just a program, but a way of life—empowering every follower of Jesus to live out their calling and participate in advancing the Kingdom (1 Peter 2:9; Acts 4:13).
