The fact is that many times we accumulate more knowledge about our Christian walk without taking time to pause, reflect, and intentionally begin to “work out” these principles of our Christian faith so that they become a part of the fiber of our lives. Scripture teaches us that we should engage in discipleship for the purpose of teaching, training, and growing in righteousness (Titus 2). Therefore, we are offering an opportunity for you to partner with a discipler (spiritual mentor) for the purpose of spiritual formation (growth) in the context of a one-on-one relationship.

Discipleship Is Not Just For New Believers! 
The scriptures call each one of us to be a disciple and to disciple others, so in essence, as a Christian we continue to be disciples; learners and followers of God. While it is essential for new believers to understand Christianity and the God they now live for, it is just as essential that every Christian continue to grow in Christlike-ness, integrating theology with everyday life, and enjoying the presence of the Lord through the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we view one-on-one discipleship as an opportunity for all Christians to focus on intentional growth in areas such as:

• Guidance and perspective in your spiritual walk
• Encouragement and accountability in addressing a particular area of spiritual growth
• Establishing or rebuilding a solid theological foundation
• Learning to discern God’s will and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit

“I had been wanting to have a mentor in my life for some time. I really wanted to have someone who would commit to praying for me on a regular basis to give me strength from the Lord. I have a specific trial in my life that's been very challenging for me to accept and trust into the Lord's hands. My discipler has helped me to understand more deeply the Lord’s love, His presence, and His grace.”

“God opened the door for me to be discipled and it has been an unbelievable time of growth in my life.”

“I’m so glad I took that step to pursue being discipled”

“ (My discipler) has challenged me in daily surrendering my life to the Lord and what His will is. I have been inspired by (my discipler’s) faithfulness in praying and caring for me.”
