Discipleship Training

Complementary Tools and Frameworks to the Discipleship Series

  1. We use a lesson called The Path to God with those in our networks as both a diagnostic and educational tool. For non-Christians, it explains how they can know God through Jesus Christ. For Christians, it clarifies how they can be assured of their salvation. Since we cannot assume that people understand the basics of the Christian faith, beginning with this tool allows us to discern where they are spiritually while also teaching the foundations of the faith. For those who are already Christians, we then encourage regular study of The Discipleship Series (see the lessons below) on a weekly basis, so that they are established in the apostles’ teaching (sound doctrine) and learn to disciple others.

  2. Ministry Coaching

    • Individual Coaching and Prayer – One-on-one ministry coaching two or more times a month provides personal accountability, encouragement, and prayer for making disciples of Jesus Christ.

    • Group Coaching and Prayer – Men and women gather regularly for shared learning, encouragement, and prayer as they advance Jesus’s mission together.
