Pastorates
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”(Matthew 28:19-20) The long term aim of the church is to bring people to maturity in Christ. Jesus’ “Great Commission” is to go and make disciples of all nations. There are various different models and structures which churches around the world are using in order to grow disciples. Discipleship will involve teaching and training, equipping and releasing gifts, prayer, encouragement and accountability. We have been running pastorates at Living Faith Alliance Church and have found it to be a good way to enable this vital process in our context.
