What is our Strategy for Discipleship?

The church's purpose is to reach the lost, disciple them, and send them back as missionaries into our community and the world. We strive to be simple and focued on that purpose. We do that by Loving God, Loving People, & Saving the World! 

What does this mean?  It means we have a 3 step process that we use to make disciples.  We realize that most people can only give 3 hours a week to the church, so the following is three simple steps a person can do every week to help them grow in their spiritual journey.  We also emphaize daily Bible study, daily quiet times, Bible memorization, and witnessing as spiritual disciplines essential to growing in our walk with God.

Step One:   Loving God = Worship (Actively participating in our worship service)

Jesus said to Love God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength.  The first step in growing in your spiritual journey is to love God!  When a person loves God, he or she is actively participating in worship.  Worship is more than a worship service it is a lifestyle!  Jesus commands us to make disciples. The first step in becoming a disciple is  actively participating  in our  worship services.

Step Two:  Loving People = Sunday School (Actively participating in a Sunday School class)

Jesus said to Love your neighbor as yourself.  The second step in growing in your spiritual journey is to love people!  When a person is in a small group of believers and they are studying the Word of God and fellowshipping together, it is through that they begin to learn and actively love people. 

Step Three: Saving the World = Missions (Actively participating in missions teams)

Jesus said that we are called into all the world and share the good news about Him.  The third step in growing in your spiritual journey is seeking to save the world!  When a person  is actively participating in local and foreign missions they are truly walking in the footsteps of Jesus.

Can you imagine what a person would be like if they gave 3 hours a week to actively worship, to actively be involved in a small group studying the Bible, and an hour to a local mission opportunity?  They would truly become a follower of Jesus Christ!
