Greetings to the Simple Discipleship website. (Scroll down to see the full list of discipleship products and services.) One of the biggest obstacles that ministries currently face is finding biblical and creative ways to grow their congregation. The primary purpose of the church is to make disciples and everything else is subserviant to that Great Commission.Our purpose is to equip Christians and church leaders to make disciple-makers. In the 21st century the greater Christian community has vested the Great Commission responsibility to make disciples to pastors and other church leaders. We believe it is the responsibility of EVERY Christian to make disciples or more properly expressed make disciple-makers. Through the Simple Discipleship website we provide:
Discipleship books:
Simple Discipleship: How to Make Disciples in the 21st Century- was written after an intense study of Simple Church by Dr. Thom Rainer. Simple Discipleship is an attempt to apply Simple Church concepts in a manner that is biblical, contextual, reproducible, measurable, and sustainable.
The Disciple-Maker's Toolkit- Learner Edition- a workbook for people in small groups or Sunday school laid out in 12 weekly lessons that provides lessons on what it means to be a growing disciple.
Church Doctrinal Health Package- A 100 question doctrinal assessment that is statistically valid and reliable used to identify the doctrinal health of your church. It is developed from a non-denominational evangelical perspective. Includes 22 lessons with teaching Powerpoints consisting of over 300 slides that allow you to edit.
Discipleship Coaching- We will provide you with in person or online coaching to assist your church's implementation of Simple Discipleship.
Leadership Coaching- Receive ministry leadership coaching from Tom Cocklereece, a Christian leader possessing over 20 years as a pastor, certified by the John Maxwell Team, and recognized as a leadership coach for Fortune 500 sales executives.
Christian Coach Training- Tom Cockelreece is also certified by the Life Breakthrough Academy as a life-coach trainer. Christian Coach-Training is a great way to achieve church growth, spiritual transformation, and mobilize a congregation. We recommend that small and medium size churches provide this specialized training for their pastor and/or Sunday school director, and large churches may consider developing a Christian Coaching Ministry to launch transformational discipleship.
Simple Discipleship is dedicated to providing the best discipleship resources to ministries. Offering intimate, step-by-step strategy, Simple Discipleship presents ministries with a practical plan, while still giving leaders total freedom to contextualize the process for their specific church. In fact, we encourage church leaders to design a process in a way that “makes it their own.”
Simple Discipleship has helped many church leaders through life coach training and discipleship resources. Don’t hesitate; a Simple Discipleship and/or life coach certification could mean a revival for your church.
Simple Discipleship is "open sourced" and there are many churches in the English-speaking world using the process. Some keep us informed of their progress but many do not.
