Developing Intentional Systems of Disciple Formation in the Appalachian District

The Appalachian District is excited to offer opportunities for you, your disciple formation teams, teachers, leaders, to learn more about implementing intentional systems of Disciple Formation in your local congregations. Over the next four months we will focus on formation vs. programs and event driven ministry in adults, children, and youth. We will be looking at worship leadership and how this too offers opportunities to develop an ongoing awareness of the Holy Spirit’s presence in our lives.
