Product Description
Churches of all types around the country are struggling. The more programs they try the more evident it becomes that there is no quick fix or secret formula to help them out of their rut. John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist Movement, once said, “The way to keep a Methodist alive is to keep him moving.”

It is time to recapture this simple yet profound truth and get back to the basics of making fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. The authors developed and launched a highly successful pathway to discipleship in their church (Morning Star UMC, in St.Louis). Here, they show others how to create a successful discipleship pathway for their own particular contexts, based on the principles developed at Morning Star.

Willard and Schreiner share the process of developing a discipleship pathway that meets individual people where they are. They provide examples of each element and practical instruction on how to plan, implement and sustain the discipleship pathway. The authors are teaching this material in conferences around the UM connection, from New Mexico to Missouri. They also share examples of how the pathway works in other churches.

For small group study participants working through Stride, the Stride Participant Book (ISBN 9781501876257), a workbook designed to facilitate individual work on creating a discipleship pathway, is available to purchase separately.

John Wesley said, “The way to keep a Methodist alive is to keep him moving.” Morning Star United Methodist Church in St. Louis, Missouri used this idea to develop and launch a highly successful pathway to discipleship for their church. Authors Mike Schreiner and Ken Willard will be the first to tell you that their book offers no quick fix or secret formula for struggling churches. Instead, they share the principles they developed at Morning Star and show you how to plot a course to fruitful discipleship in your church.
