Discipleship 1: Laying the Foundation
LIVING OUT GOD’S WORD TOGETHER
Prerequisite: Faithful Standing
We believe in a biblical philosophy of discipleship. We believe that Jesus Christ has modeled a systematic approach to equipping the saints both in the knowledge and understanding of the Word of God. That is, Discipleship 1 is more than a transaction of Biblical knowledge; it is an investment and transfer of one life into another. During this process, the believer is introduced to the 4 goals of Discipleship through a one-on-one study of the core doctrines of our faith.
4 Goals of Discipleship
Establish in Worship
Established in the Word of God
Established in the local church
Established in the work of the ministry
