What is discipleship?

We define discipleship as the continual process of cultivating within ourselves the very things Jesus embodied: namely love, mercy, compassion, and justice. Developing these character traits in us and integrating them into our daily living is an ongoing, never-ending process that requires companions on that journey. 


oUR METHOD

Cultivating these spiritual traits, we believe, can lead to spiritual transformation. But doing so requires a balanced spiritual diet. Therefore, throughout the year we offer three sign-up seasons (Winter/Spring - Summer - Fall) as opportunities for you to evaluate what is best for your soul in this season of your life. Each season, we try to offer a variety of Classes (specializing in Christian Education), Communities (opportunities to simply be in fellowship with others), and Groups (a combination of learning and studying together).
