Abstract
The purpose of this project was to develop a strategy for making disciples for
Libby Baptist, Libby, Montana. The project director researched demographics for the
community which resulted in a report of areas of focus for evangelism. An internal audit
of the congregation was conducted alongside the church’s ten-year Annual Church
Profile data resulting in a report of areas of focus for discipleship. The project director
developed an annotated bibliography and report of best practices after conducting
research in the field of disciple making. The reports of areas of focus and best practices
were used to lead the Libby Baptist Church leadership team to develop a strategy for
disciple making. The completed disciple-making strategy was presented to the church
during two Sunday morning worship services and approved in a special-called business
meeting.
