Over the last thirty years, many influential church leaders and church planters in America have adopted various models for reaching unchurched people. An âattractionalâ model seeks to attract people to a local church. Younger leaders may advocate a more âmissionalâ approach, in which believers live and work among unchurched people and intentionally seek to serve like Christ. While each of these approaches have merit, something is still missing, something even more fundamental to the mission of the church: discipleship. Making disciplesâhelping people to trust and follow Jesusâis the churchâs God-given mandate. Discipleship empowers Christians to be more like Christ, and devoted disciples attract people outside the church because of the change others see in them. DiscipleShift walks pastors and church leaders through the five key âshiftsâ that churches must make to refocus on that biblical mission. These intentional changes will attract the world and empower believers to be salt and light in their communities.
