Discipleship
Following Jesus day by day — learning from him, becoming like him, and joining his mission.
What Is Discipleship?
A disciple is a follower and learner of Jesus. Jesus called ordinary people with two simple words — "Follow me" — and discipleship is the lifelong answer to that call: spending time in God's Word and in prayer, letting the Holy Spirit shape our character, and living out our faith with others in our families, our work and our communities.
