Pastor Marco García Calls for Discipleship Revolution at National Christian Leadership Conference

Pastor Marco García emphasized during the National Christian Labour Conference’s 25th Annual Summit that good preaching and music alone are insufficient for creating disciples. Speaking at the event, which took place at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, García called for a “revolution of apprenticeships” to deepen spiritual engagement within churches and communities.

García, addressing a gathering led by Pastor Samuel Rodriguez, highlighted the importance of discipleship as central to Christian practice. He urged attendees to recognize that the mission of the church extends beyond worship and artistic expression, calling for a renewed focus on teaching and discipling new generations.

The pastor referenced the Great Commission in Matthew 28:16–20, framing his message as a call to action for believers to embody the teachings of Jesus. García stressed that many Christians today identify as believers but lack a clear commitment to discipleship, emphasizing the need for intentional spiritual formation.

He also addressed the challenge of passing on faith and energy to future generations, noting that current efforts often fall short of what is needed to build a lasting spiritual legacy. García urged leaders to prioritize the development of disciples who are prepared to carry out the mission of the church.

The summit, organized by the National Christian Labour Conference, aimed to expand the work of the Conference and advance its objectives, including disarmament and community service. García’s message resonated with attendees, who were encouraged to embrace a more active and transformative approach to Christian leadership.

In a moment of reflection, García reminded the audience of the hunger for the “world of God,” a phrase that underscores the call to live out faith in practical ways. His words served as a challenge to churches and individuals to move beyond passive participation and commit to the active work of making disciples.
