In today’s world, discipleship doesn’t stop at the church doors — it starts where people are already searching. This workshop is designed for pastors and ministry leaders who want to explore how digital tools can enhance—not replace—biblical discipleship. We’ll examine how to approach digital outreach missionally and thoughtfully, avoiding gimmicks and staying grounded in the Gospel. You’ll also learn how to leverage the Google Ad Grant—a $10,000/month opportunity available to churches and nonprofits—to reach people in your city who are searching for spiritual answers. Whether you're tech-savvy or just getting started, you’ll walk away with a clearer strategy for using digital platforms to not only connect with your community, but also move them toward deeper engagement and discipleship. You’ll Discover:
• Why digital discipleship matters and how to do it well
• How to frame your digital presence around mission, not marketing
• Real-life examples of how churches are using the Google Ad Grant effectively
• A simple plan to get started and make the most of these tools
