THE JOURNEY TO DISCIPLESHIP

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20

The journey to discipleship is a transformative path that reshapes every facet of a person’s life. It requires commitment, self-reflection, and a willingness to follow Christ's teachings. As one embarks on this journey, it becomes evident that discipleship is not only about personal growth but also about fostering a deeper connection with God, which ultimately leads to eternal blessings and the promise of reaching one's heavenly home.

Through discipleship, individuals are challenged to grow spiritually, emotionally, and morally. It involves surrendering personal desires and adopting a Christ-centered mindset. This process strengthens virtues such as humility, patience, and love, qualities that resonate throughout every relationship and interaction. The trials and challenges faced along the way serve as refining moments, teaching resilience and trust in God’s plan.

Moreover, discipleship opens the door to blessings in profound ways. The peace that comes from aligning one’s life with God’s purpose is immeasurable. The joy of serving others and the fulfillment of living a purpose-driven life are fruits of this journey. Each step taken in faith brings one closer to the ultimate reward: eternal life with God.

By following the journey to discipleship, believers are not only molded into Christ’s likeness but are also assured of their place in their heavenly home, a testament to God’s unwavering promises.

Authentic
Worship

The community comes together to give praise, adoration, thanksgiving, and petition to God and to partake in the sacraments. We join with others in order to allow Christ to build us into the place where God lives.

Transformative Education

Transformative education is intentional learning through classes, studies, seminars, etc. with a specific emphasis on Wesleyan theology, which specifically translate knowledge of Scripture, theology, and more into Christ-like action. 

Luke 6:17-26

God Honoring Relationships

God-Honoring Relationships are mutually beneficial and edifying to all involved and are centered around Christ. These relationships build community in our lives and in the church, especially when we are different and have different experiences and understandings. We share a common experience of faith in Jesus Christ and encourage, comfort, and hold one other accountable.

Philippians 2:1-8, Matthew 18:15-22, Mark 2:14-17

Works of Justice & Compassion

While everything we do should reflect love for God and neighbor, we also intentionally serve others with our actions. Together we work for justice, with compassion so that all peoples have the freedom and ability to live into all God created them to be. 

James 2:14-26, Hebrews 10:32-39, Matthew 25:31-46

Sacrificial Giving

We support God’s work in the local church and community beyond in response to God’s blessing on our lives. We are called to be good stewards of all we have received. Part of this call involves giving money with gratitude and thanksgiving to help make sure all God’s children have what they need.

Matthew 6:19-24, Mark 12:38-44, John 12:1-8

Passionate Spirituality

We practice passionate spirituality by expressing devotion to God through prayer, reading Scripture, fasting,  solitude, confession, celebration, spiritual direction, counseling, connecting with God’s creation, etc. We recognize this can look different for different people and covenant to encourage one another and hold one another accountable in these practices. 

Psalm 16:5-11, Luke 6:12
