$ Congregation-Based Discipleship Cohort (Fresh Expressions)
January 4, 2023 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
“Ultimately each church will be evaluated by only one thing. It’s disciples.” (Neil Cole, Ordinary Hero)
Yet, local churches struggle to formulate an approach to helping their members grow to look like Jesus and engage in God’s mission.
What if you could help people grow in their faith, connect deeper to your congregation, and identify who God is calling them to serve in the broader community?
With Congregation-Based Discipleship, you’ll discover how normal, local churches can go beyond signing up volunteers for ministries to raising up disciples engaged in meaningful mission.
Details:
ALL TIMES = 7PM-9PM for every session in the WINTER (Session 1) and SPRING (Session 2)
(Yes, this is late. That is on purpose. And yes it is a commitment. But this allows folks who work during the day to join. It also allows most people who have sports/music practice to still participate. We have found this to be the best time to get the most people.)
