초록/해제: 요약 : The purpose of this Ministry Focus Paper is to develop a vision, philosophy of ministry, and strategy that will lay the foundation for more effective disciple-making at North Heights Lutheran Church (NHLC) in the twenty-first century.

초록/해제: 요약 : North Heights Lutheran Church is a successful ministry where nearly 4,000 adults and children gather for worship celebration and/or Christian education. A grace/faith gospel message is at the heart of the ministry. Hundreds actively involved in ministry and service. People daily receive counsel, prayer, encouragement, and help. Multitudes walk in a deep, mature, and growing faith. The congregation reaches out to the lost and grows at a steady pace. The financial support and personal involvement in missions “across the street and around the world” are growing yearly.

초록/해제: 요약 : The problem is that a mega-church can be a place where people hide what is really going on in their lives. Hundreds of people who attend worship services may be simply adding an hour-a-week of religion to their otherwise secularized lifestyle. Jesus did not call his church to add a little religion to people's lives. Jesus commissioned his church to transform lives by making disciples. The challenge currently before this congregation is to transform this ministry from a program-driven organization to a disciple-making organism.

초록/해제: 요약 : Part one, Vision, begins with the biblical and theological foundation for disciple-making. Definitions are analyzed, obstacles are noted, and a vision of the local church as a disciple-making community is set forth. The concept of disciple-making is sharpened against the backdrop of five spiritual streams within historical Christianity and a scenario of the lifestyle of a disciple is painted.

초록/해제: 요약 : Part two, Profile, provides an in-depth analysis of the current philosophy and practice of ministry at North Heights. The existing foundations are examined as well as obstacles and opportunities.

초록/해제: 요약 : Part three, Strategy, shares renewed vision, ministry philosophy, and plans for shaping the future of this church for greater effectiveness. A transforming process is detailed. Finally, the aim of creating a climate that fosters disciple-making relationships is discussed.
