Excited to Share the 2026 National Forum Theme: DiscipleShift: A Fresh Vision for Disciple Making Today

Dear Discipleship-First Friends,

Over the past few months, we’ve been carefully listening to your feedback and and have studied the survey data—and one theme has come through loud and clear:

You’re hungry for real help in shifting your church to become a disciple-making church.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the theme for the 2026 National Disciple Making Forum:

DiscipleShift: A Fresh Vision for Disciple Making Today

This theme builds on the powerful foundation of the best-selling book DiscipleShift by Jim Putman and Bobby Harrington (2013). In 2026, we’ll expand on those important principles with the latest practices and fresh research from the top disciple making churches across North America.

You and your team will leave the 2026 Forum with some essential takeaways, such as:

Why it begins with the lead pastor and leadership team
How leaders can create a disciple making culture in the local church
What it takes to build a simple, effective, and reproducible strategy
How to achieve alignment your church—missionally, theologically, organizationally, philosophically, and relationally

The 2026 National Disciple Making Forum is shaping up to be one of the most practical, insightful, and empowering gatherings we’ve ever hosted.

So—next steps–save the date and start making plans to join us in Houston, Texas on April 15-16, 2026 for the 2026 National Disciple Making Forum.

SPECIAL LAUNCH PRICING ENDS THIS SATURDAY AT MIDNIGHT!
