Step 1: Worship Weekly
The discipleship journey begins with gathering regularly in worship. It is the foundation of spiritual growth — a time when we glorify God, hear His Word, are encouraged by His gifts, and are strengthened alongside fellow believers.
We invite you to participate in weekly worship with us. From there, we encourage you to make weekly worship a joyful and life‑giving rhythm, returning each week to grow in faith together.

Step 2: Grow Spiritually
The second step focuses on deepening one’s relationship with Christ and with others. This happens through small groups, personal devotion, and guided learning opportunities. The Discipleship Pathway 201 course will teach participants how to build spiritual habits, strengthen biblical understanding, and develop meaningful relationships within the church community.
We encourage everyone to sign up for the Discipleship Pathway 201 course and discover that discipleship is not meant to be lived alone — transformation happens best in community with other believers!

Step 3: Serve Sacrificially
The pathway then moves outward into service. Members are encouraged to discover their gifts and use them to bless others both inside and outside the church. Class sessions and serving opportunities help people connect their faith to action and participate in the church’s ministry of discipling others.
This step reflects the idea that spiritual maturity expresses itself through humble, loving service. We invite you to take your next step—register for Discipleship Pathway 301 - and step into a life of purposeful service.

Step 4: Share Courageously
The final step challenges believers to actively share the love of Christ with others. Participants are equipped and encouraged to speak about their faith in everyday life and to participate in outreach beyond the church walls. The goal is not simply personal growth but multiplying disciples who influence their communities.
