Abstract

With mainline denominations declining in churches and membership, the question arises about the future of the Christian faith and the church's role in disciplemaking. This project develops a practical design for how the region, a middle judicatory body, can train, empower, affirm, and motivate congregations for evangelism and church development, as the church seeks to faithfully fulfill the Great Commission. Various approaches to evangelism and church development are explored, with evaluation of evangelistic efforts of other regions and local Disciples churches in Florida. A process for prayerful discernment of a congregation's vision and strategy for fulfilling their mission is presented.
