DISCIPLESHIP

The last words of Jesus before his ascension were that his followers, filled with the Holy Spirit, would go and make disciples of all nations. We’ve spent a lot of time in prayer and planning to grow in our relationship with God and others.

Definition: Discipleship is a lifelong journey of; Intentionally discovering who Jesus is, who we are in him, and the joy of intimacy with him; Actively depending on the Holy Spirit as he transforms us from within into Christ’s likeness; Joyfully partnering with Jesus as he lives through us and sends us into the world for his purposes.

We have groups, studies, gatherings, resources, and more designed to encourage, equip, and spur us on our discipleship journey. Explore, and let’s grow together!
