A Free Great Commission Participation Guide
Scripture Focus: Matthew 28:18–20; Ephesians 4:11–16; 1 Corinthians 3:6–7
Jesus commanded His followers to make disciples, baptize them, and teach them to obey everything He commanded. That responsibility belongs to the entire body of Christ, and every believer has opportunities to participate. But where do you begin? How can you use your gifts, relationships, and experiences to help others grow in their faith?
Beyond the Building is a free, Scripture-centered participation guide designed to help you identify practical ways to serve Christ, strengthen your local church, and make a meaningful difference in your community.
You don’t need a ministry title, a large platform, or a new program to get started. Sometimes the most meaningful opportunities begin with the people God has already placed in your life.
What’s Inside Your Free Guide?
This two-page printable includes six practical activities to help you:
- Understand your role in the Great Commission and consider what making disciples requires beyond sharing biblical information.
- Recognize opportunities around you by examining your existing relationships and the needs within your church and community.
- Identify ways to contribute through prayer, teaching, mentoring, hospitality, service, and sharing resources.
- Create a personal 30-day participation plan with specific actions you can begin taking.
- Evaluate your spiritual impact by reflecting on what you’ve learned, how relationships are developing, and what you might do differently.
- Discover ways to stay connected with Interactive Bible Studies while continuing to serve within your own congregation and community.
Whether you’re a longtime church member, a ministry leader, or someone looking for a more intentional way to serve, this guide can help you move from good intentions toward meaningful action. You can complete it individually or work through the questions with a friend, ministry team, or small group.

Start Where You Are
You don’t have to wait for the perfect opportunity to begin serving Christ. Your church, family, workplace, and community already provide opportunities to encourage others, develop meaningful relationships, and put your faith into practice.
My hope is that this guide will help you recognize those opportunities and become more intentional about using them.
