What is Discipleship?
We have committed to walk together with brotherly love, exercising Christian care and watchfulness over each other, participating in each other’s joys and bearing one another’s burdens. We refer to this process of walking together as we learn to cherish Christ as discipleship.
To be a disciple of Jesus Christ is to be a learner of Jesus Christ. Both making disciples and being a disciple require learning who Jesus Christ is and what His finished work means for every facet of our lives. Jesus modeled for us what the life of a disciple should look like so very clearly. He gathered a group of people who were not disciples, and taught them what it means to be disciples. He didn’t just do it in a sterile classroom environment but he brought them along with him in everyday life.
Our discipleship strategy has four goals:
Reach people for Christ and church membership.
Teach people God’s Word.
Minister to people’s needs.
Develop new leaders committed to reaching people.
Sunday School
Every Sunday at 9 AM we offer Sunday School classes for every age and stage of life. These classes use a Biblical curriculum or book study to assist in growing in faith and fellowship.
Life Groups
We strive to offer a robust Life Group ministry that meets throughout the week. These are open and long-term groups designed to reach, teach, and minister to one another and their community while developing new leaders and multiplying new groups.
A life group is an environment of biblical community where people can feel welcome and accepted (BELONG), encounter Christ and His Word (BELIEVE), and make disciples and group multipliers (BECOME). Our groups spend time in God’s Word and in prayer weekly.
