Abstract

The purpose of this project was to equip selected adults of First Baptist Church of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with essential competencies to disciple college-aged attendees. To succeed in this purpose, I researched the field of discipleship to gain a foundational understanding of biblical discipleship. I examined demographic trends concerning current and upcoming generations of college-aged adults and distilled four competencies to effectively disciple college-aged believers. The competencies were framed within and expounded upon through the lens of First Baptist Church of Tuscaloosa, Alabama’s mission statement. Subsequently, I developed and implemented a four-week curriculum to equip selected adults to disciple college-aged adults. I employed evaluative measures to assess participants’ progress in the identified discipleship competencies. Several experts in the fields of discipleship, curriculum design, and theological education were enlisted to oversee and evaluate the project.
