The Gospel Project: New Look, Same Gospel

This fall, The Gospel Project begins a new three-year study cycle, so it’s the perfect time to start new groups. But even groups who have been using The Gospel Project will find new changes to be excited about, including a switch from the Daily Discipleship Guide to a Personal Study Guide, plus a new Commentary for those seeking deeper study.

Learn about what makes The Gospel Project unique and all that is new this year.

The Forge Resources: Your Church's Next Discipleship Toolkit

The people in your church know they should be discipling others, but most feel like they lack the equipping and encouragement needed to disciple others well. Yet, if just one person discipled two others across a year and those two discipled two the following year and that continued, more than two billion people would be discipled in just twenty years.

Join us in a multiplication movement by committing to focusing on discipleship in your church through five new resources inspired by the new Kendrick Brothers film, THE FORGE.
