Intentional Discipleship Church (IDC) Process
Discipleship is a process of growth. It is a lifelong pursuit of following Christ. Many churches want to make disciples but don’t have the empowering environment or the resources. CDM has identified nine components that are essential for discipleship to take place in successive generations.
