12 MY GOALS: Think practical and specific! MY ACCOUNTABILITY: Who will be following up? When? OUR DNA We believe that the gospel changes people, and people change the world. Our philosophy As a church, God has made us stewards of two very important recources: The Gospel, which is the power of God for salvation (Romans 1:16-17) and His people. Keeping that in mind, we want to focus our resources toward making sure that we faithfully and consistently instill the gospel in everyone who is part of Blueprint Church. Everything we do as a church we do under the premise that it is the gospel that truly changes people at their core; only then are these changed people God s agents to change a dying world. As a church, we exist to unleash healthy people to do ministry where life exists. 22 BLUEPRINT CHURCH DISCIPLE MAKING PIPELINE BLUEPRINT CHURCH DISCIPLE MAKING PIPELINE 23

13 Our Mission At Blueprint, we don t have a lot of programs, strategies, and initiatives to fix the woes of the world we live in. We believe that as the gospel transforms people, God places these transformed people into broken and dark situations where they become His hands and feet to repair what has been fractured. We define health as people who are growing in the gospel, in the context of family, Gospel while on mission. Our strategy Family mission We ve built our discipleship strategy to develop healthy people who are growing in the Gospel, in the context of family, while living on mission. These 3 areas allow us to provide discipleship environments that develop holistically healthy disciples of Jesus.
