Most believers see the work of the church as twofold in nature, making converts and discipling them. While this is certainly central to our work, it does not represent the full orb of responsibilities we have as the people of God. To help you understand the complete picture of church activity, I developed a model I call the “7 Pillars of the Church.” This framework breaks down what churches are to do into seven core activities.
