Abstract
This project was designed to demonstrate the necessity for family discipleship and to prepare fathers to apply it in their homes. The project included a survey for assessing the existing state of family discipleship within our church, an 8-week training course for fathers, and a post-course survey to measure the effectiveness of the course. Chapter 1 presents the ministry context of West Jackson Baptist Church in Jackson, Tennessee, provides a rationale for why the project was necessary, and gives an outline of the specific research methods used in the project. Chapter 2 demonstrates the scriptural mandate for fathers to lead their children in the fear of the Lord and gives evidence for human flourishing in families led by Christian fathers. Chapter 3 outlines the theoretical, practical, and historical issues related to the project. Chapter 4 describes the implementation of the project. Chapter 5 includes an evaluation of the success of the project.
