Discipleship

Our Discipleship Path

WE LIVE AS DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST AS WE WORSHIP, GROW, GIVE, SERVE AND SHARE.

We want to create opportunities for all people to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ and our discipleship pathway is designed to help you grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ. These practices will lead us on the journey of loving God and neighbor.

WHAT IS A DISCIPLE? HOW DO I GROW IN MY FAITH?

A disciple is a person who follows Jesus by engaging in spiritual practices to worship, grow, give, serve and share. A person engaging in these practices will grow in their love of God and neighbor. We invite you to grow in your faith by adding a practice, taking a next step or growing deeper.
