And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 20:18-20
What is Discipleship?
Discipleship is the process of helping Christians better follow and treasure Jesus. Discipleship is for all Christians; both to be a disciple and help others be disciples. There are many different pieces to discipleship and many ways it can be done. The two main categories of discipleship at Grace Church are Relational Discipleship and Family Discipleship.
Relational Discipleship
A primary way discipleship happens is through relationships. Whether it’s meeting 1 on 1 or in a smaller group, we have a variety of tracks to help you grow in your faith with a particular emphasis.
Family Discipleship
A key role for parents is to disciple their children. To help with that important responsibility, we created a tool called the Family Discipleship Roadmap.
As a tool to help with relational discipleship, we have several tracks to help people each other through different aspects of following Jesus.
If you are interested in taking someone through a track, start by reading this Discipleship Track Training booklet.
“And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.”
2 Corinthians 3:18
While parents are the primary disciple-makers of their own children, this is not done without guidance. Parents are informed by the Word, helped by the Holy Spirit, and supported by the local church.
