Walk with someone. Make disciples.
DaveUp helps your church move from attendance to intentional discipleship: one discipler, one clear next step, and growth you can actually see.

Why DaveUp
Churches can count attendance. Growth is harder to see.
Most churches can report how many people came on Sunday. It is much harder to answer the questions that matter: is this person growing in prayer, obedience and service? Are they accepting correction? Are they discipling someone else?
DaveUp gives every disciple a discipler, a shared picture of where they are across twelve areas, and a practical next step. It supports the relationship; it never replaces it.
How it works
A simple cycle that keeps going.
Discipleship is not a course with a graduation date. DaveUp keeps the next step clear, month after month.
- 1
Connect
A disciple and an approved discipler agree to walk together. Nobody is paired without saying yes.
- 2
Assess
Each of you answers the same 12-area assessment alone. You see where your views differ, together.
- 3
Plan and meet
Agree one to three focus areas and a few weekly practices. Meet regularly and keep a one-minute record.
- 4
Check and grow
A short check every month, the full assessment every third month, and progress described in words.
Features
Everything a discipleship relationship needs.
12-area assessment
Sixty practical, behaviour-based questions across twelve areas, from Prayer to Reproducing other disciples. Answered about the last month, from what you can actually point to.
Two perspectives
The disciple answers about themselves; the discipler answers about the disciple. Differences become conversation starters, never verdicts.
Growth plans
Pick focus areas from your results, add weekly practices, tick them off day by day and reflect on the week. Both of you confirm the plan.
Guided meetings
Check in, review last week's commitment, look at the evidence, pray, and agree the next step. A short record keeps the thread.
Monthly checks
Twelve questions a month keep growth in view without the full assessment every time. Nothing is ever locked if a check is late.
Private by design
Your answers are yours. Your discipler sees area scores side by side only after you both finish. Your church sees counts, never answers.
The twelve areas
The same twelve areas for everyone.
Behaviour you can point to, not words you know. Every area has five practical questions for the disciple, and five for the discipler.

- 2Building RelationshipIntimacy through time and sustained by love.
- 3Ministry and Teaching of the WordLearning truth, asking questions and testing what is taught.

- 10Death to Self and Willingness to SufferEndurance, sacrifice and faithfulness under pressure.
- 11Transformation of SocietyTaking the life of Christ beyond the church environment.
- 12Reproduction of Other DisciplesBecoming a disciple-maker, not only a disciple.

FAQ
Questions people ask.
Does it cost anything?
Churches start free. Paid plans with more disciplers and AI assistance will be offered later, and your church will always be told before anything is charged.
Who can see my answers?
Only you. Your discipler sees your area scores beside theirs once you have both finished, never your individual answers or evidence. Church administrators see counts and roles, never assessment results.
Do I need to belong to a church?
Yes. DaveUp is provided through your local church. Ask your church office for its church code, or, if you lead a church, register it yourself.
How do I sign in?
With your email address. We send you a 6-digit code each time, so there is no password to remember. You can also use your phone number.
What if I want to stop or change discipler?
You can end a relationship or raise a concern at any time. Your discipler cannot stop you, and your own history stays with you.
Is the assessment a test I can fail?
No. It measures what has actually happened in the last month, not what you know. “No occasion yet” never counts against you, and results are shown as growth areas, not grades.
