DISCIPLESHIP PATHWAYS

To become everything God has created and saved you to be takes patience, people and a pathway. You can’t do it all alone or all at once. With the guidance of His Word and Holy Spirit, we walk together into our full identity in Christ on these Disciple Pathways. 

GROUNDED

We come to see ourselves as part of the Christian family when we know and believe who God is and what He has done, and still does, for us. The Grounded Pathway includes the central teachings of the Holy Bible and provides a firm foundation for our life together lived in Christ.

ROOTED

Beyond a program, seminar, or bible study, the Rooted Pathway is a catalyst for life change. Rooted inspires questions and conversations, teaches seven key rhythms, and allows for impactful group experiences designed to help you remain rooted in God’s story.

GROWING

We want to grow in maturity and become more like Jesus, but how? We read the Bible, pray and go to church. Yet often we feel as though we’re missing something, our relationships need repair, and we keep falling into the same cyclical responses to stress. The Growing Pathway helps us discover absent relational skills, recover them in community, and participate in joy-bonded maturity.

SOWING

Many of us feel deeply passionate about our faith, yet feel insecure, even uncertain, about how to share faith with friends and neighbors in a culture that is not interested in church. The Sowing Pathway is a course built to provide a simple, repeatable framework for community engagement.

As we follow the Disciple Pathways, we discover friendships with other believers and, quite naturally, develop into Life Groups. Finding your people along the pathway is a joyful gift. Keep meeting together! Where and when you meet is flexible according to the dynamic needs of your group. We encourage all groups – no matter the number of people or their age – to include Discovery Bible Study in their time together.
 
Discovery Bible Study is a method designed to help believers deepen their understanding of Scripture and confidently share its teachings with others. This simple yet powerful approach to Bible study equips participants with practical tools to lead meaningful discussions and disciple others effectively.
