Holistic Disciple Making.
How we equip in the important process of disciple making is by approaching it holistically. This type of disciple making is intentional about helping one another love and live for Jesus by sharing the Gospel with non-believers, growing together in Gospel living, helping one another mature in Christ, and by training one another for the work of the ministry. This happens in many different contexts and includes both corporate gatherings as well as intentional relationships.
Discipleship Seminar.
Every January (between the Fall and Spring Small Group sessions) and August (between the Spring and Fall Small Group sessions) we offer special equipping classes. These classes (typically 2-3 weeks in duration) provide helpful equipping for men and women to grow in their faith and be more well prepared to make disciples. These classes cover different topics each semester.
Our next Discipleship Seminar is scheduled for 2024.
Discipleship Groups.
We are never meant to be "lone rangers" as Christ-followers. We are headed toward disaster when we choose to do so. In intentional discipling relationships, two or three Christians of the same sex meet to study scripture or a helpful book, hold one another accountable, memorize scripture and pray. Although these are recommended practices as you meet, these relationships tend to materialize and operate in different ways.
Intentional discipling often flows out of the relationships being built within the local church. We encourage you to seek these types of relationships out, both as the one helping to disciple and the one being discipled. This is so important in our growth as followers of Christ. We are both needy and needed.
Discipleship Groups most often form through pre-existing, meaningful relationships with other believers in environments like Small Group. If you already have 2-4 friends who want to start a Discipleship Group, fill out the form below and we would love to help in any way we can. We will also be able to provide resources that will help as you all get started and commit to praying for your group as you meet.
Let us know you are meeting. Register your discipleship group.
