Coming alongside the Church to inspire disciplemaking at every level, for every believer.
The Columbus Discipleship Network (CDN) aims to provide inspiration, equipping, and community for a lifestyle of disciplemaking. The network consists of church and ministry staff from diverse churches and organizations across our city, as well as everyday practitioners. We also operate a separate but related network specifically for pastors, the Pastors Discipleship Network, to think through disciplemaking from an organizational standpoint.
PDN: Tools for Every Sphere of Discipleship
Our series of curated discussions for pastors is going to be focused on tools this year. Following our concentric spheres of discipleship approach from 2025, we will revisit each discipleship sphere with tools and resources known to be effective. Our August meeting will discuss tools for small groups. It could get spicy! 🌶️ Join us!

Discipling in Broken Places
Have you ever tried to disciple someone who has such a drastically different life than you that it’s almost absurd? I’m not talking about, I grew up with a one-car garage, and you had two. I’m talking about different cultures, socio-economic statuses, levels of parental engagement, feelings of safety, you name it. And let me say first, I will never pretend it’s not messy and hard. But let me add that I have been so richly blessed in this work that I can’t imagine living any other way now.

Our regular CDN meetings, open to the public, feature a TED-style skills talk and structured conversation over a provided lunch. We also curate inspiring stories of disciplemaking in our own backyard, publish blogs written by local practitioners, and keep a trove of helpful disciplemaking resources on our website. Sign up for our mailing list to get a taste… but we strongly encourage you to join us for our next lunch!
