The Great Commission contains a dual focus: evangelism and discipleship. No evangelism program is complete without the inclusion of an intentional system of discipleship; and no discipleship program is complete without a strong engagement in evangelism. It is often at the point of making disciples that the church has her greatest failure. Conversion is only the beginning, and often that beginning is lost because converts never become followers of Jesus. The objective of this course, therefore, is to equip students with both a biblical understanding of how a local church effectively reaches the unsaved in the community with the gospel message, and transitions new believers into a community of believers who intentionally support and encourage each other in becoming as much like Jesus as the Holy Spirit intends and enables.
