DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY

The goal of our Discipleship ministry is to teach people how to have a growing, healthy, authentic relationship with Jesus the Christ.  We believe there are seven marks or characteristics that a disciple should exhibit.

A Christ follower should be:

In love with God - a Worshipper

In a ministry - a Server

In a small group - In Community/A Relater

Investors in the Kingdom - a Giver

Informed through Bible study - a Learner

In conversation with God - a Prayer

On mission with God - a Reproducer
