The Forgotten Mission (1 of 6): Rediscovering Our Purpose

There was once a vibrant church nestled in the heart of a bustling suburban town. Decades ago, it was known for its warm community, biblical teaching, and a passion for reaching the lost.

The Forgotten Mission (6 of 6): What If We Actually Did This? – Casting Vision for the Future

What if thirty people at Fairlane said, I will disciple one person for one year. Not preach to them. Not fix them. Just walk with them. Read Scripture. Pray. Encourage. Be present. Imagine that, at the end of one year, each of those thirty disciples then discipled one other person. What would happen? In two
