Children Resources

Base 1: INCLUDE THEM

The following books, videos, and ministry tools can help you in your ministry. The focus of Base 1 in the We Build People discipleship model is the Law of Inclusion that states:

"A disciple-making church intentionally provides a process that includes people in its shpere of care, causing them to desire to become believers, establishing a relationship with Jesus Christ and His body, the local church. They make a commitment to membership."
