Hey! I’m Bryan Dwyer, founding pastor at Alpine Church in Utah (www.alpinechurch.org), a multi-site church started in my backyard in 2001 with just a handful of families. We’ve grown to over 2700 weekly attenders in 8 campuses, many of whom are new believers with a Mormon background.
Most of my life I’ve had a passion for helping people pursue God, and now I spend a lot of my time training pastors and leaders on how to turn their ministries into powerful disciple-making movements. Everyone talks about making disciples; I can show you how to use the free online tools at pursueGOD.org to actually do it.
Read on to learn how I can help you and your church get to the next level.
What Is PursueGOD.org?
PursueGOD is a massive online library of discipleship topics. From faith to life to family to leadership, we empower conversations to help people pursue God one topic at a time. In 5 years we’ve created over 2500 topics, and we’re adding new content every day. All of our tools are free and easily accessed by anyone in your church without passwords or pay walls. And our resources are comprehensive, giving you a simple discipleship solution for every ministry:
We’ve developed a simple disciple-making strategy that works across all ministries, making our free resources the one-stop solution for your entire church. The result is the kind of ministry Jesus envisioned all along: a church where everyone is empowered to make disciples.
We’ve seen this culture take off at our church, and we can help you bring it to yours.

Sample Topics
The resources on our site cover literally thousands of topics. Here’s a sampling of some of our newest content.
When Is It Time to “Close the Doors” of a Dying Church?
Closing a church is painful, but it can also be a powerful act of stewardship. Learn the signs of a terminal church and how “dying well” can actually lead to the resurrection of new ministry.
How Can a Church Create a Culture of Healthy Conflict?
Conflict is inevitable, but it doesn’t have to be destructive. Learn how your church can move from “peace-faking” to biblical peacemaking by following the steps Jesus gave us for reconciliation.
Is Church Membership Actually Biblical?
Does God require you to join a local church? Discover why the heart of church membership isn’t a roster entry, but a commitment to a spiritual family and a submission to godly leadership.
How Should a Church Handle a Moral Failure in Leadership?
When a leader falls, the church must act with grace and truth. Discover the biblical process for handling moral failure, from removing a leader to caring for the flock and pursuing genuine restoration.
What Was the Sign of the Davidic Covenant?
The sign of the Davidic covenant isn’t a physical ritual, but an eternal promise. Explore how the sun, the moon, and the lineage of Jesus Christ serve as the lasting evidence of God’s commitment to establish a kingdom that will never end.
What Was the Sign of the Abrahamic Covenant?
The sign of the Abrahamic covenant was a physical mark with a spiritual message. Discover why God required circumcision, what it symbolized for the Israelites, and how Jesus fulfills these ancient promises for us today in a heart-centered way.
What Was the Sign of the Mosaic Covenant?
The sign of the Mosaic covenant was the Sabbath—a weekly day of rest intended to mark Israel as God’s holy people. Discover how this ancient sign pointed toward the Tabernacle, the Law, and the ultimate spiritual rest we find in Jesus Christ.
Was the Mosaic Covenant Conditional?
The Mosaic covenant was a conditional agreement based on Israel’s obedience. Learn how the “blessings and curses” of the Law pointed to our need for a Savior and how Jesus eventually met every condition on our behalf.
Did God Change How Salvation Works?
Many wonder if God changed the “requirements” for heaven between the Old and New Testaments. By looking at Acts 10 and Hebrews 11, we see that God’s plan of salvation has remained consistent from the beginning.
