Discipleship Matrix

Jesus made it clear that our mission is to make disciples. Wherever people may be on their spiritual journey: skeptic, new believer, re-turner, or growing believer, our desire is to help them take steps forward in their faith relationship with Christ.

The two activities of loving God and loving others give evidence of a person’s spiritual growth and maturity. This is why we guide our groups through a “Discipleship Matrix” as they lead groups toward this ultimate desire to help people love God and love others.

Click on one of the four areas for a suggested list of resources to help your group develop in a love for God and neighbor.
