Impact team members Ken Adams and Lance Sumner discuss the critical role small groups play in helping your church make and multiply disciples of Jesus.“People in the church are here to support each other and build each other up. In a small group setting, individuals are much more likely to open up about the best and worst things happening in their lives in a way that would never happen in a large church service.”

We hope you were able to join us in January for one of the largest events Impact hosts annually! Looking back, here are some thoughts from our team on that weekend. “Every year, the Summit gets better and better. The main sessions, breakouts, worship - it’s all incredible. And one of the things I continually hear from people attending is, ‘I needed this.’ And it's true. I come away from the Summit every year thinking, 'We need this now more than we’ve ever needed it.’ We get revival and revitalization and renewal through going back to how Jesus originally designed His Church to be: a movement of multiplying disciples."

"Jesus made disciples and then appointed them to be leaders. That's a very different mindset of leadership development and deploying leaders. You've got to see discipleship ultimately as training for ministry."

Our team members are here to give you all the details on the Disciple Making Summit 2023! Check out our latest podcast and learn more about everything we have planned.
