Discipology

DISCIPLE LIKE JESUS

12 Sessions

Two Options on Tuesdays from March 24-June 9

   Noon-1 Eastern (virtual)

   7-8 pm Eastern (in-person)

Ready to move from "Sitting" to "Sending"?
We talk a lot about "discipleship" in the Church, but how many of us have a clear, practical rhythm for it in our daily lives?

Our next DISCIPOLOGY Cohort kicks off on March 24, and we want you in the circle. This isn't just a class—it’s a 12-week deep dive into the heart of what it means to follow Jesus and lead others to do the same.

DISCIPOLOGY: Becoming, Making, and Sending Disciples
What did Jesus spend the bulk of his ministry doing? He made disciples.

If you want to disciple like Jesus and get the results that Jesus got then you need to do the things Jesus did. In DISCIPOLOGYwe learn how to become disciples of Jesus, make disciples of Jesus, then gather and scatter disciples on mission.

It isn't complicated. Jesus trained teenagers to do this very thing. But it requires obedience.
Join us as we unpack the art and science of making disciples.

DISCIPOLOGY Components: 

1. Time: Forming disciples

2. Teaching: Training disciples

3. Tactics: Sending disciples

This coaching cohort is designed to move beyond theory and into practice as you make disciples and send them out on mission.
Our training pathway that consists of three units:
   • Becoming Disciples
   • Making Disciples
   • Sending Disciples

With practical action steps and tangible outcomes, DISCIPOLOGY is designed to produce "metanoia", a change in the new disciple’s life that results in obedience and a passion to expand God’s kingdom.

Networks often search high and low for their next wave of leaders, but this is becoming increasingly difficult. With DISCIPOLOGY, you can develop a “farm system;” a disciple-making engine that produces future leaders and church planters.
Over a few years, Jesus developed His future network leaders, and you can too.
When?
• Tuesdays, March 24-June 9 (Twelve 1-hour sessions)
• Two Options: Noon Eastern Time (virtual) OR 7 pm (618 32nd St. Wyoming, MI)
Who?
• Anyone who wants to follow Jesus as a disciple this course is great for everyday believers and current and emerging ministry leaders
