“Our Mission
The mission of Church of God Adult Discipleship is to carry out the Great Commission of Christ to make disciples through: first, producing and providing biblical, practical and Pentecostal resources, texts and manuals for disciple-making church/ministries . . . and second, to provide national, state and local conferences, and clinics to equip men and women to become mature, Spirit-filled, vibrant disciples of Christ.”
