What does discipleship look like in your congregation?
We are studying how Disciples of Christ congregations define, practice, and live out discipleship.

Why this research matters
Why this research matters
Many congregations in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) are deeply committed to justice, inclusion, and community; yet they struggle to articulate how those commitments connect to discipleship, or to offer clear pathways for members to live them out.
This project is designed to change that. By gathering evidence from congregations across North America, we hope to identify what effective, justice-oriented discipleship looks like in practice and to build practical resources that any congregation can use.
A denomination-wide survey of Disciples congregations to map discipleship in practice.
Deep conversations with selected congregations through focus groups and interviews.
Practical field guides, workshops, and resources for congregations to use.
