Discipleship Training

NEW FALL TERM
Preview & Dessert in St. James Place on Wednesday, August 11
Classes will begin on August 18. Sunday classes begin August 22  


Sometimes we think of discipleship as simply a church program.  Yet, true discipleship is much more than a program. Discipleship is learning to follow Jesus and growing in our relationship with Him.  This happens as we yield our lives to Him and allow Him, by His Spirit, to guide and transform us.  
As a result, our focus in Discipleship Training is much more than simply to gain knowledge.  We are asking the Lord to change and transform us into His fully devoted disciples.  Therefore, the courses we offer are designed to challenge you to go deeper in your relationship with Jesus Christ.   
 
I hope you will prayerfully consider joining one of our discipleship studies this semester.  We anticipate that as we study and seek our Lord, He will draw us closer to Himself and help us to learn more fully how to live as His disciples.   

Rev. Bo Stevens
Associate Pastor of Discipleship
