People grow in different ways, people learn in different ways. And like plants, people usually need a combination of elements to sustain consistent growth. Creating a church culture where whole-life discipleship can flourish relies on key elements, a certain set of values.
The process of creating the right culture can seem hugely intimidating. But you can begin to change the culture of a church, step by step - by changing one meeting, by encouraging experimentation, by asking good questions, by understanding the needs of the people.
These are some stories of churches where whole-life discipleship is the aim. They're very different communities. All see themselves on a journey. There's no one model. But they're all committed to learning how to become whole-life disciple-making communities in today's world.
