Discipleship Groups

Becoming Equipped & Established In Your Faith

The process of maturing in your faith &
becoming more like Christ is discipleship.

What is DiscipleShip?

Discipleship is a journey of intentional decisions leading to maturity in your relationship with Jesus so that you become more like Him in your attitudes, focus, and ultimately behavior. It requires a commitment from the potential disciple and the disciple-makers.

How does it work?

It’s not something that happens by accident or overnight, and it can’t be completed in a three-week class. This is a commitment to follow God with your whole self and to both learn from and eventually teach others about how to follow Him.

Discipleship at r30a

A “disciple” is a kind of student. It is someone who follows the teaching of, learns from and models their life after someone else — in this case, Jesus.

1. Join a group

The first step is to join a group, whether you are new to the faith or been in the church for years but were never discipled you are welcome. Our Group sizes are small, typically 2 - 4.

2. Learn the Bible

We teach the Bible and the fundamental teachings that the church has held for thousands of years. We help you to understand the story from Adam and Eve to the Life of Jesus.

3. Apply In Your Life

Your group will help you live out and become more grounded in your faith as a follower of Jesus.  Knowledge without application is of little value, we want to help you want in the fullness of Christ.

4. Be Guided by mature BELIEVERS

Life situations and hurts are tough. In discipleship groups we help you work through things in a Biblical way. We are not here to give you a pamphlet and send your on your way.

The IMPORTANCE of Discipleship

Church attendance does not automatically translate to discipleship. It’s difficult for someone to grow as a disciple without some connection to a local church, but going to church doesn’t guarantee growing in maturity.

A disciple-making mentor intentionally shapes someone’s understanding, attitudes, and behavior. They’re modeling what a disciple looks like in word and deed. Like Paul, the mentor can say, “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ” (1 Corinthians 11:1). This doesn’t mean they are perfect or have it all figured out, but it does mean they are trying to follow God with their whole life.

It's time to get started.

"Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." (Ephesians 4:14–16, NIV)
