Overview

A Practical Guide to Creating and Sustaining a Culture of Disciple-Making in Any Church

Over the last few decades American churches have produced plenty of converts but not as many mature believers. Studies show the majority of Christians don’t even understand the basics of faith. But how do you tackle such a big problem?

Replicate shows church leaders how to make disciples who make disciples and get the rest of your church on board as well. This one-on-one relational ministry is how Jesus laid the foundation for His church that is still growing today, and it’s how we continue the work in our own local congregations. Learn the five marks of a healthy disciple-making church, how to influence culture, uproot misconceptions of the church and the gospel, and change your church and community. No more focusing on mere numbers, it’s time to grow in maturity and through multiplication.

Praise for Replicate

Robby Gallaty’s ministry prophetically and relentlessly calls the church toward her central task: disciple-making. Not only did Jesus give us the Great Commission, He modeled for us how to accomplish the task, and this book walks you carefully down that path. In Replicate, Robby and Chris illuminate Christ’s model and provide a practical approach to help equip both church leaders and laypeople alike.

—J.D. Greear, Pastor of The Summit Church, Raleigh-Durham, NC

I am so thankful for Robby’s and Chris’s hearts and minds for discipleship. Their passion coupled with their thinking is serving people and churches well.

—Eric Geiger, Senior Pastor, Mariners Church, Irvine, CA

It’s not often that you read something and say, “Oh I wish I had thought of that or written that.” But that is exactly what I thought when I read Robby Gallaty and Chris Swain’s work, Replicate. This book is both penetrating and so practical. It is so good that its only downside is that church leaders will read it more than the Bible. There is no doubt that for those who are looking for a pathway forward to making disciples in the church, this will be a standard go-to work.

—Bill Hull, Cofounder, Leader of The Bonhoeffer Project; author of The Cost of Cheap Grace
