Discipleship Ministries at Hinsdale Seventh-day Adventist Church develops disciples through three stages: deliverance, development and deployment.

The Process of Deliverance
moves a person from Seeker to Believer through baptism. This four-step process starts with cultivating a caring relationship, then communicating a compelling witness, followed by clarifying spiritual questions, and finally, calling for a commitment to Christ.

The Process of Development
helps a Believer grow as a disciple through training for mission. This four-step process starts with initiating new believers into an understanding of continuing Christian discipleship, then integrating them into caring and mentoring networks, followed by helping them discover their ministry gifts in the body of Christ, and finally, inviting them into disciple leadership classes.

The Process of Deployment
empowers a Disciple to make other disciples by equipping them for leadership. This four-step process starts with favoring their unique evangelistic style, then following up with training and mentorship in that style, followed by forming small groups focused on a specific evangelistic style, and finally deploying them to find Seekers for Christ.
