    Radical Disciple Making event scheduled for October 11 at Batavia FUMC

    A recent survey revealed that the #1 concern church leaders have is how to develop faithful, effective disciples in their churches.

    If your church is suffering from:

    • Sketchy worship attendance by leaders (let alone members)?
    • Widespread biblical illiteracy?
    • Unresolved conflict?
    • “Entitled Membership” syndrome?
    • Ineffective evangelism and outreach programs?
    • Low baptismal count?

     … then the Radical Disciple Making Conference is for you. Developed by The Effective Church Group, the RDM Conference will train your church leaders how to create a church-wide discipleship strategy.

    This isn’t an introduction to a “program” or a “ministry.” It’s a new way of doing and being church that transforms the lives of church leaders and the congregations that implement the strategies.

    Tested in churches across the US, this isn’t a conference on theories or good ideas – it’s a one-day tactical planning retreat led by three of the nation’s top experts in disciple making.

    Bill Easum was the developer and pastor of one of the largest disciple-making churches in south Texas until he left the pulpit to begin training church leaders nearly 30 years ago.

    Bill Tenny-Brittian was a church planter who started disciple-making churches from coast to coast until he joined The Effective Church Group to multiply his disciple-making ministries.

    Scott Musselman is the pastor of Our Saviors Lutheran Church and has been successfully using these disciple- making strategies for about 10 years.

    Kris Tenny-Brittian has been a church planter and a denominational leader who’s been applying these disciple- making tools for over 30 years.

    The Radical Disciple Making Conference is being hosted by:

    Batavia First United Methodist Church (8221 Lewiston Rd, Batavia, NY 14020)

    Cost: $75/person (Save $10/registrant when you bring a team of three or more).

    Each registered participant gets a $50 gift card from the Effective Church Store to pick up supporting resources. Get more information at RadicalDiscipleMaking.com.
