Jesus said “Make disciples of all nations… teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” But what is the “make-up” of a disciple, a follower of Jesus?

A disciple is a believer who is shaped by three  priorities:

1.  WORSHIP - submitting to and following God like Jesus
2.  COMMUNITY - loving and serving the people of God like Jesus
3.  OUTREACH - connecting to God’s broken world like Jesus

Over the next 3 years, the Alliancefor Renewal Churches (ARC) and Whitewater Ministries will be hosting mini-conferences on these Christ-priorities and invite you to engage them with us in this first conference on the topic of WORSHIP!

Friday – Saturday, February 3^rd and 4^th, 2012
