How to Use PGN
Our resources are designed to help your ministry make "full circle" Christians, whether they've been going to church a long time or they're brand new at it. Here's the picture we're working toward:
The Process
Using the resources at pursueGOD.org, pursueGODkids.org, and FLEXTALK.org, teach your church our 3E process:
- Engage: Start talking about life, faith, and everything in between using the topics on one of our category pages.
- Establish: Start "The Pursuit" - our 12-week discipleship track available at pursueGOD.org - to establish a full circle Christian faith.
- Empower: Complete "The Pursuit" and you'll be ready to go out and help others pursue God.
PGN
The pursueGODnetwork site uses conversation starters just like our other disciple-making sites. The main difference? The categories here are built for ministry leaders throughout your church:
- Partners: "How to" for official PGN partner ministries
- Pastors: For shepherds and teachers who want to make disciples
- Small Groups: For leaders using pursueGOD as their primary curriculum
- Worship Teams: For mentoring conversations among your singers and musicians
- Student Ministry: For youth groups who want to raise up disciple-makers in their ranks
- Children's Ministry: For churches using our Kids' Church curriculum at pursueGODkids.org
- Target Ministries: Like men, women, and outreach.
