Discipleship Coach

You already want to be a disciple-making church. This builds the part that makes it real.

One job, held by someone on your staff, putting Identify, Equip and Connect to work in your context — with the systems, the curriculum and the reporting that keep it running after the first year.

Free, and it stays free

Coaching along the way costs nothing. If you're working through a class, setting up Identify, Equip and Connect in your group, or about to try your first Discovery Bible Study and something isn't landing — pick a time below and talk it through. No fee, no packet, no commitment, and nothing to sign. This is not the paid role described further down the page; it is a real conversation with a real person who does this work.

What it is

A seat on staff, not a consultant who visits

A Discipleship Coach is a fractional staff role — part-time and remote-capable, but a real seat with real accountability, not an outside adviser who appears occasionally and leaves a report behind.

One generation of discipleship is common. Disciples who make disciples who make disciples is rare, and it is rare for structural reasons: nobody owns it, nothing tracks it, and the people willing to do it are never matched with the people asking. This role exists to close that gap, and it has one job.

You do not need this to run the framework. The method and the curriculum are free, permanently, and any church can pick them up and run them without us — see how the framework works

Under the hood

The systems we set up

Three systems, one per part of the framework, each with a leadership dashboard. They are already built, and they come with the role.

Identify

PrayQR

Prayer requests, from your church and from partner ministries, surface real spiritual openness and turn it into a confirmed seeker.

Equip

Online Classes and Bible Studies

New believers move through baptism, the first forty days and disciple-maker training into actually discipling someone else — with the training tracked rather than assumed.

Connect

SoulPath

Trained disciple makers are matched with confirmed seekers, and those matches are actively stewarded rather than left to chance.

The rollout

Outreach first, then multiplication

Six phases across eleven months. The order is the argument: real seekers exist before anyone is trained to meet them, so the training has somewhere to land.

  1. Months 1–3

    Outreach ministries first

    Stand up the prayer ministry and the access-ministry partnerships — building the flow of seekers, and the urgency that comes with seeing it.

  2. Months 3–5

    First disciple-maker cohort

    A small, committed group trains toward opening the Bible one-on-one with seekers who have already been identified.

  3. Months 5–7

    First matches, second cohort

    The first cohort graduates and starts meeting with seekers. A second cohort begins training behind them.

  4. Months 7–9

    Quarterly classes begin

    The new-members class and disciple-maker training move onto their standing quarterly rhythm.

  5. Months 9–11

    Train the trainer

    The reproducibility step — training the people who will train the next disciple makers, so the rhythm does not depend on us.

  6. Month 11 onward

    Scale the system

    Cohorts, quarterly classes and trained trainers reinforce each other. The first quarterly elders review lands here.

Accountability

How we will know it is working

DMR — Disciple-Maker Rate

What share of your disciples are actually discipling someone else. The real multiplication signal, not attendance.

MGD — Maximum Generational Depth

How many generations deep multiplication has actually reached — disciples of disciples of disciples.

Quarterly, a written elders review and a meeting: real numbers, looked at together rather than merely generated. Weekly, a short staff update so progress stays visible between quarters.

A real partnership

What each side brings

What CoMission provides

  • Full focus on disciple-making — one job, not a side project.
  • Someone working alongside your volunteers and leaders to keep the discipleship process running and improving.
  • The three systems above, dashboards included.
  • Curriculum — whatever Bible study plans and materials the programme needs.
  • Remote-based, in constant contact with volunteers and leaders, and on-site when being in the room is what the moment needs.
  • Quarterly elders reporting and weekly staff visibility.

What your church provides

  • A named owner for each part, willing to actually run it.
  • Volunteers or staff for the prayer ministry, the equipping, and the connecting.
  • Willingness for the youth, kids and college ministries to use the same study method.
  • Your own pastoral care escalation protocol — we will tell you what it has to cover, and it stays yours.

The ask

What it costs, and how we talk about it

Coaching fees vary based on church or group size and the length of the engagement. A congregation of forty and a network of four thousand are not carrying the same thing, and a single published number would be wrong for almost everyone who read it.

It is an addition to your staff rather than a purchase, so it runs as a term rather than a project — twelve months at a minimum, because the rhythm above does not exist in less. We will put real numbers in front of you in the first conversation, alongside what your church would actually carry.

Your next step

Put the whole cycle to work

Identify, Equip and Connect — a cycle, not a funnel. The guide walks you through setting up all three, with a checklist for your situation: on your own, in a small group, across a church, or through a ministry.
