Faith Journey Church's Discipleship Ministry
Our Discipleship Ministry exists to engage all willing congregants in a Discipleship Pathway-from new life to spiritual maturity-that focuses on building stronger faith and deeper love. Through both a "Short-term" and "Long-term" approach in discipleship, people are equipped with the knowledge, attitude, and skills to bring glory to God by effectively ministering inside and outside of the church through growing, serving, and sharing.
Short-Term: A concise series of 4 Core Topics/Courses which directly address the challenges listed in our 5-Year Vision. These 4 Topics/Courses of 4 lessons each (4x4, so 16 total lessons) also provide an appetizer for every believer by providing an initial taste of following Jesus, with the hope that this short-term discipleship ministry will lead people to want to engage in long-term discipleship.
