| Abstract

Redeeming Love Church, like most churches, endeavors to train and unite its ministries and its people to the mission of the church in order to enlarge the kingdom of God. Leadership perceived a disconnect between the stated mission—Growing Leaders to Love God and Love People—and the ministries and people in the church. Ministry leaders were setting their goals and planning within each of their realms with little to no communication or cooperation with other ministries. Members of the church expressed a desire to make a difference and help, but with varied work and family schedules, it was difficult to attend classes, trainings, and events at the church. The paradigm that ministry only happens at the church needed to be addressed. This project explored how to bring unity and alignment to the ministries of RLC. Additionally, it explored how to train and equip people through whole-life discipleship to integrate their faith into all aspects of their lives, so they could live out the RLC mission daily at their jobs, with their families, how they care for themselves and others, and how they contribute to the economy. Through this project, ministry leaders learned to connect and plan with other ministry leaders, learn about other ministries, and unite through fellowship and trainings. Leadership also developed trainings, classes, sermons, and digital resources to help equip people through multiple methods of discipleship. RLC began to make meaningful changes and will continue on this path, to bring unity and alignment to its ministries and people to the stated mission of the church in order to expand the kingdom of God.
