Desciple Workshop

Discipleship Workshop Overview

The Discipleship Workshop is a hands-on, biblically grounded training experience designed to equip every believer in your church for personal and relational gospel impact. Rooted in Scripture and inspired by the Gospel Huddle framework, this workshop helps your church identify gospel opportunities in their everyday relationships, craft their personal testimonies, and build confidence in sharing the good news. It’s not about creating a few outreach experts—it’s about mobilizing the whole church to be gospel-ready in their neighborhoods, networks, and the nations.

All participants should arrive having completed the pre-workshop exercises, which include reflection questions and relational mapping tools. This essential preparation sets the stage for deep, focused group work and active participation throughout the session.
