Jarret Hamilton, Pastor of Generation Church and Catalyst of the Local Center in
Clayton, North Carolina, encourages you to join an LCN Local Center. Ministry
does not have to be done alone. Gather together with pastors in your community
to encourage and strengthen one another as we work together to fulfill the
mission of making new disciples for Christ.
Brett Karanovich, Pastor of Christ United Church and Catalyst of the Local Center
in Richmond, Indiana, shares a unique story about being available to how God
chooses to use you to disciple others. Discipleship opportunities can arise from
the most unexpected circumstances. We need to be ready to answer God’s call
whenever and wherever He leads.
Bill Couchenour, Director of Learning Communities at Exponential, shares three important aspects of discipleship: all of life, in community and on mission. It is important to be intentional in your discipleship of others. Start with a group of three or six or twelve. Who are you discipling to become followers of Jesus?
Andrew Oates, Executive Pastor of Coastal Community Church and Catalyst for the Yorktown, Virginia Local Center, encourages you to start an LCN Local Center in your area. Maybe you have heard about LCN’s Local Centers but do not live near one. LCN will walk you through the process of launching a Local Center. We have handbooks and resources and most importantly, fellow pastors who have reaped the benefits of a Local Center and would love to see more of them grow and thrive.
