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 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
One way that 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
One of the largest roles parents have is to disciple their children. To help with that important responsibility, we’re introducing 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.
If you are new to Grace and interested in someone taking you through a discipleship track, talk to you DG Leader or Pastor Mike.
While parents are the primary disciple-makers of their own children, the church plays a vital role in supporting parents in this glorious work. At Grace Church we see this as three things: training, opportunities and resources.
