Community-Based Discipleship

Abstract

This article presents the biblical meaning of disciple and discipleship and uncovers the importance of community-based discipleship. Literature was engaged to throw light in arguments. The article appeals that a church that seeks to be successful needs to follow the method of Jesus by making disciples through community-based discipleship and relationship principles. Making community-based discipleship a priority will help the church to produce connected and transformed disciples, not just converts to the movement. Strong community-based discipleship builds strong disciples of Jesus and strong churches for mission. The church with the community-based discipleship will successfully fulfill the Great Commission following the method of Jesus (Matt 28:18-20). If the church seeks to be successful, it should follow the method of Jesus in discipling.
