Discipleship
The discipleship process is more than teaching people the right knowledge about God. A disciple models him or herself after someone. Making disciples of Jesus goes beyond teaching facts about Jesus. It means teaching people how to know and be like Jesus — to obey God and seek His best for their lives.
A message about Discipleship & Level Up from Pastor Jim Webb:
When I combine the reminder of discipled education in our faith with the vapid expressions of spiritualism in our modern world; It creates a challenge within my heart. I have expressed this challenge with our company of pastors and various committees all of which agree that there is a need for expanded Christian education uniquely now. They also agreed that we are all in different places of growth within our discipleship journeys. What may challenge and satisfy one group may not be what is needed for others. We are at different levels of need for lack of a better term. From this discussion and collaboration, the concept of ‘Level Up’ was revealed. So, with this idea in mind, our Christian education format will begin a new adaptation to all classes based upon levels of teaching.
Levels are L1, L2, L3, and L4
which reflect the diversity of our membership
and their journey in discipleship.
Please see the schedule below for current offerings.

Instructor Pastor Larry Shores
The goals of this class are to clearly define what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, to suggest ways to self-evaluate one’s present state of following Jesus and to offer ways to grow as a disciple of Jesus. Areas to be covered include: What is discipleship? We will explore the meaning of discipleship and its implications. Where am I on the path of discipleship? We will consider our current location on the path as disciples. What’s next? Look at prayer, scripture, and serve to determine possible next steps on the journey.
How do we maintain an awareness of discipleship in the midst of life’s busyness’? We will consider options as we continue
this journey together, both to be an encouragement and be encouraged. Please bring a notebook and Bible.
