We are commissioned to be disciple-makers (Matthew 28:16-20). As we love God and love our neighbors well, we are people who take the Hope of Jesus with us every day. The Disciple-Makers Pathway is intentionally created to make disciples who make disciples.
Paul challenged Timothy to take what he had learned from Paul and teach that to others, who will be able to entrust it to others (2 Timothy 2:2). This is the objective of the Disciple-Makers Pathway. As you learn from others, you are equipped to teach others. This is how we become disciples who are making disciples.
The Disciple-Makers Pathway
Step One
The Call
The Call Bible Study Book answers the question, “Who am I as a disciple of Christ?” More than a Bible study on identity, The Call is a disciple-making resource that emphasizes practice and mentoring for group settings of multiple sizes. It takes disciples on a journey into what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.
The sessions include:
- Who Is Jesus?
- What Did Jesus Do?
- Following Jesus
- The Priorities of a Disciple
- The Cost of a Disciple
- The Fruit of a Disciple
Step Two
The Truth
The Truth: Engaging the Foundations of the Faith study helps disciples answer the question “What does a disciple believe?” Many people will claim Christianity, but do they really know what they believe? Do they know the doctrines of the faith? The Truth challenges group members to take a deeper dive into six core doctrines: God as triune creator, the reality of sin, the Person and work of Christ, the kingdom of God, and the church.
The sessions include:
- The Doctrine of God
- The Doctrine of Man
- The Person and Work of Christ
- The Kingdom of God
- The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit
- The Doctrine of the Church
Step Three
The Life
The Life: Living The Spiritual Disciplines study answers the question, “What does a disciple do in a relationship with God?“ Through this vital disciple-making experience, each group member discusses and practices the following disciplines: reading the Bible, prayer, community, serving, and evangelism. Disciples explore both individual disciplines and the disciplines of community.
The sessions include:
- Immersed in the Word
- Connected Through Prayer
- Living in Community
- Being Filled with the Spirit
- Serving One Another
- Sharing Your Faith
Step Four
The Mission
The Mission: Joining God In His Work study asks disciples to explore the question, “What does a disciple do in a relationship with the world?” Knowledge and community are only good as much as they serve a disciple on his or her mission. This study begins and ends with Jesus as it guides growing disciples along the journey to missionality together with Him.
The sessions include:
- Christ Came to Us
- Christ Came with a Mission
- Christ Came to Die
- We Die with Christ
- We Go with Christ
- We Go Together with Christ
