2 PERSPECTIVES OF DISCIPLESHIP

PERSONAL

A disciple is a loyal follower of Jesus Christ. When Jesus asked His core disciples, “… “Are you also going to leave?” Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” A true disciple stays on a life path of becoming more like their master in character, conduct and mission. “Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. (Colossians 2:6,7)

MISSIONAL

Becoming and remaining a loyal follower of Jesus Christ involves the understanding and experience of recognizing Him as THE ONLY – the only Saviour, the only Lord and the only King of humanity. True Christianity isn’t simply a personal assent to a system of beliefs, nor is it merely adherence to a rigid set of rules. Following Jesus begins with repentance, and requires a radical shift in thinking, A follower of Jesus grows in continual relationship with HIM.

A DISCIPLE WHO DISCIPLES

We encourage followers of Jesus to practice spiritual disciplines and develop a heart for others to do the same. As we move along a Discipleship Pathway we address our own brokenness and begin to partner with Jesus in His mission. Maturing as a believer illumines our character, directs our life choices and enriches our relationships. As we become established in the faith, we experience God changing us and aligning our will to His. Following Jesus is a life long journey of transformation.
