The Calling
Make discipleship a lifestyle for a lifetime.
As Christ-followers, we’re called to make disciples of all nations, but for many of us, this is a daunting task. We feel ill-equipped and unsure of where to start. Downline Ministries is working to change that.
The Downline Institute is a dynamic training program that equips men and women to make disciples. Our training takes Christ-followers back to the original strategy demonstrated by Jesus and His disciples.
Over the course of nine months, the Institute walks students through the Bible, from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22.
In addition, the Institute equips students with in-depth knowledge of God’s word, biblical manhood/womanhood, and practical discipleship so that our graduates can make disciples in their homes, churches and communities.

Our classes are taught by gifted Bible teachers and disciple-makers from Memphis and around the country.

Going through the class as a couple has been fantastic. Virtually every day we discuss some learning that we have gained from Downline, whether it is discipleship, evangelism, or theology!
BILL & ANGELICA LANGHAM, CLASS OF 2020
I have been given so much knowledge about God and the tools to share that knowledge with others! I feel like I have a renewed desire to talk about God without being discouraged by my lack of ability or lack of knowledge because of the confidence I’ve gained in class.

Local Church Partnerships
We partner with local churches to help them in their mission to equip their people and reach their communities with the Gospel.
Throughout the program, Institute students hear from a variety of trusted pastors and leaders from their city as they study God’s Word. If you’re a church leader looking to ignite a culture of discipleship in your church, we encourage you to consider sending a few leaders in your congregation through the Institute. We’ve seen firsthand how this experience can enhance what you may already be doing in your congregation to encourage discipleship.
There will be people around the throne of Jesus, calling him Lord, who came to Christ because of the ministry of someone impacted by Downline.
Sam Shaw, FELLOWSHIP BIBLE CHURCH, LONGVIEW, TX
I didn’t want our church to be merely about Sundays; I wanted it to be about discipleship. I wanted people to invest in people.
