The role of the church's Sunday service is primarily discipleship with contextual outreach emphasis — the degree depends on the season and makeup of the congregation; discipleship always happens, outreach emphasis is more variable.

Mike frames Sunday service on a spectrum between discipleship and outreach, to be tuned by the pastor according to the needs of the congregation in each season. Preaching the gospel is part of discipleship, so it is not entirely optional even in a discipleship-heavy season.
