WHAT IS DISCIPLE?
DISCIPLE is an approach to Bible Study that emphasizes disciplined reading of and listening to Scripture. It results in Biblically nourished people committed to live as disciples. During the course, DISCIPLE groups move through the Scriptures.
DISCIPLE aims at transformation, not just information.
DISCIPLE calls on persons to be changed by God’s word. HOW YOU CAN BE INVOLVED!
DISCIPLE is based on the model of Jesus and the Twelve: Leaders invite eight to twelve persons with spiritual commitment, open minds, and a hunger for studying the Scripture into small group study.
DISCIPLE is an opportunity to reform and transform your life in Christ. Please think and pray about this opportunity for yourself and for others in our fellowship.
THE ASSUMPTIONS Underlying the development of DISCIPLE is the assumption that people are hungry for the word of God, for fellowship in prayer and study, and for a sense of appropriate ministry as baptized, believing, committed Christians.
DISCIPLE assumes that the Bible is the key to renewal in the church.
DISCIPLE recognizes the human-divine nature of the Bible: The actual texts of Scripture were written by human beings like us in the cultural setting, under the divine inspiration of God. . . .
DISCIPLE gives Old and New Testaments equal time, emphasizing the wholeness of the Bible as the revelation of God. DISCIPLE invites persons to bring their experiences and struggles to God through Scripture.</p>
