Statistics reveal that local churches throughout America are suffering and continuing to shrink. We believe the missing key element is real authentic discipleship among God’s people. Join Pastor Buck Benton as he seeks to encourage, equip, and empower you on how to make disciples in authentic relationships, recapturing the heart of the early church so that you can make a life changing difference where God has planted you, all for the glory of God and the good of the world.
