A variety of teaching tools and methods will be employed such as lectures; tutorials, role-play, videos and individualised counselling.

Dear Beloved,

In spite of the exceptional increase in churchgoers in the last two decades, there has been a note able decline in Christian principles and values. Our Churches have never been more fragmented and morally corrupt. What is responsible for this paradox?

The answer lies in discipleship; there is clearly a disconnect between belief and behaviour, this poses the greatest threat to Christianity in the 21st century, bigger than doctrine and ritualism. The Church community typically focuses on making converts rather than making disciples. Consequently we have many immature "converts", but very few disciples. However Jesus commanded us to make "disciples", not just converts. Matt. 28:18-20 is very explicit (Command to the Church) "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations".

Every Disciple is a convert, but not every convert is a Christian disciple. A Christian disciple must endeavour to become more and more like his master Jesus Christ, hence He said "If you abide in my Word, you are my disciples indeed". When we abide in the Word, we live it". John 8:3.  Behaviour and lifestyle must align with the teachings of Christ.

We invite you to join the School of disciples in South East London. Our aim is to transform believers into disciples and disciples into disciple makers.
Training will commence with a weekend residential retreat at St Ann's Manor Wokingham, England.
The course including retreat, manuals and other resources are provided free of charge by TSF.
Classes: One Saturday a month (usually 3rd Saturday)
Venue: Seminar Room St Mary's Church, St Mary's Road, London SE15 2EA.
