Discipleship to Missional Community (D2MC)

Launching and multiplying new communities of believers.

Learning Community icon

The Discipleship to Missional Community (D2MC) Learning Community provides a leadership training experience where pastors and church leaders work side-by-side to learn intentional, reproducible rhythms for multiplying discipling leaders who live out their church’s mission.

“Leaders looking to start and multiply missional communities are leaders that disciple leaders for mission–that disciple leaders for mission. As a member of Discipleship to Missional Community, you will be surrounded by pioneers eager to witness wider Gospel influence with people often distant from the church.  You’ll learn the simple rhythms of life and discipleship that multiply leaders for mission.” Gail Ficken, Trainer for D2MC  

PLI’s Discipleship to Missional Community combines leadership training and coaching that provide ongoing encouragement and accountability needed in the missional church today. Dig deep alongside your church leadership (key staff and lay leaders) to drive the mission and vision forward. When one or more key leaders are learning alongside their pastor and spouse, the journey gets easier.

As the culture around us shifts and changes, we are rooted in an unchanging God. Jesus challenged his disciples to “go and make disciples.” The commitment to discipling everyday people who disciple others can give birth to fresh expressions of the extraordinary mission of God.


The Learning Community Journey

Your Learning Community journey with PLI lasts two years and includes a total of five immersions. The immersions occur twice a year (approximately every six months).

At the end of every immersion experience, you will leave with an actionable and unique six-month plan to incrementally achieve your Spirit-led goals.

Our combination of immersions and leadership coaching equip you with the tools to lay a foundation for building a discipling culture that fosters missional community.
