Webinar: Making Disciples: Resurrecting Wesley's Class Meeting with Technology

Video

Webinar Content:  Most active members of the United Methodist Church know that our mission statement is “to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.”  The next logical question is “How?” and based on the reports of decline in many parts of the US, it is clear we don’t have a clue.  For the last 15 months, leaders in UMM have been starting Class Meetings, based on the book by Dr. Kevin Watson.  These are not the same small group studies you may be used to, and our delivery model matches our current technology.  From my vantage point, this was Wesley’s way of making disciples, and it gives us the “how” and the “means” to turn us back into a powerful movement.  It is already making a difference.
