About QB
QB is a Movement of more than 50,000 Christians who are involved with over 200 Baptist churches in Queensland, Australia.
The vision of the QB Movement is “to impact Queensland and beyond for Jesus through a movement of praying churches that disciple intentionally and mission effectively.”
One of the priorities of the QB Movement is Intentional Discipleship. As our societal practices move further away from Christian truth and values, we recognize the crucial task of equipping and discipling Christians to live God’s way as salt and light. Drawing on our resources and gifts, we intentionally develop effective methods of spiritual formation to grow disciples of Jesus. Such discipleship includes baptising new Christians and teaching them to obey all Christ’s commands (Matt. 28:18-20). We are committed to be a Movement that produces mature followers of Jesus.
We pray that these Studies will contribute to the growth of disciples of Jesus.
