Disciple-making Institute

Help Influence Today's Culture for Christ

Help Launch Grace’s Disciple-making Institute

Discipleship is part of the DNA of Grace School of Theology … but disciple-making, that’s part of our heart. And through the Grace Center for Spiritual Development (GCSD), we have created a new home for some of the most effective disciple-making leaders and programs we know – the Disciple-Making Institute.

As the cornerstone of the Institute’s launch, Pastor Dwight Edwards is joining GCSD as its Pastor-at-Large and moving his primary ministry efforts to the Institute. In addition to infusing his contagious disciple-making passion into the synergistic mix of GCSD Institutes, Dwight will have direct access to and the support of an advancement and marketing team dedicated to developing spiritual leaders in every nation who can teach others about the love of Christ.

Other than the wholesale pursuit of God, no activity on earth rivals the high adventure and deep-seated joy of Disciple-Making.

Our Core Ministries

Dwight’s popular evening Bible studies have become more accessible through GCSD, having attracted hundreds of participants from over two dozen countries around the world using Grace’s cloud-based, interactive classrooms with live video conferencing for the participants.

To broaden Dwight’s reach, Grace On Demand will become the online learning hub for his most popular studies to make them available anytime to anyone, anywhere. His best-known Bible in 90 Minutes course will be showcased as one of the first offerings when Grace On Demand launches in Fall 2020.

Known for discipling and coaching marketplace leaders through his years of work with Club Outreach Ministries and Toolbox Luncheons, Dwight personally walks with small groups of Christian executives into the extraordinary adventure of Matthew 28:19, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.”

The Holy Land is where God’s biblical story took place – visiting there with Biblical teachers will ignite your personal study and understanding of The Word. Traveling there with a passionate teacher like Dwight Edwards, well that’s a trip of a lifetime. Join Dwight and some of Grace’s Biblical scholars and pastors in one of their annual excursions through the Holy Land.
