Approaches to Disciple-Making

The Church Health Team of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina has proposed five possible approaches to disciple-making in a local church. According to this paradigm, discipleship can be platform-oriented, program-oriented, process-oriented, person-oriented, and proficiency-oriented. A local church can choose to implement any or all of the approaches.

In their Disciple Makers Manual[i], the Church Health Team outlines the audience, benefits, drawbacks, and how to go the next level for each the approaches. The next level of the fifth approach, proficiency, is described in the following manner: “Next level is about reproduction and multiplication through mentoring and discipling others and other churches and organizations. Impacting others is the next level.”  This “next level” is the core of DiscipleWay.

DiscipleWay will supplement any of these approaches to discipleship,  however, DiscipleWay is intended to make disciple-makers out of faithful believers. Any and all of the approaches should be used by a church to make faithful disciples. It is necessary to point out that, DiscipleWay is not designed to be used in any of the approaches described.

Watch one, Do one, TEACH ONE

   Participants should also be equipped to teach those disciplines to other believers. Teaching requires a person to interact with what is being taught and ensures the teacher learns as much or more than the student. Disciples are challenged with opportunities to teach what they have learned throughout the DiscipleWay curriculum. The final discipline, Leadership, is intended to guide the disciple in finding someone to disciple and providing support and supervision. The goal of DiscipleWay is to make disciples who go out and make disciples, who go out and make disciples. Student teaching is built into the DiscipleWay method. Beginning with the first disciple of Bible Study, disciples are required to teach elements of the discipline to someone else. Teaching inductive Bible study, praying with prayer partners, leading in family worship, and finding service projects are a few examples of imbedded teaching assignments throughout the DiscipleWay curriculum. The final discipline, Leadership, is all about guiding the disciple as he/she finds someone to lead through DiscipleWay and providing some supervision and support during the early stages.
