DISCIPLESHIP
Discipleship is the process of becoming more like Jesus, to be formed by Jesus, and then to share the truth and love of Jesus. Discipleship is a vital part of who we are, we seek to glorify God by finding life in Jesus together and inviting others to do the same.
APPROACH TO DISCIPLESHIP
Our approach to discipleship is a process of care, love, and transformation. It takes time, commitment, and effort. Jesus spent three years developing his disciples in community, relationship, and intentional conversations. We believe by mimicking Jesus’ discipleship method we can grow in the ways of Jesus. We long to see a culture where everyone is discipled and discipling. This culture starts by taking a chance and having courage to ask someone to walk alongside you. Discipleship can happen one on one, one on six, in a group, or in a small setting. The goal is to help one another become more like Jesus; to live, love, and walk in the ways of Jesus.
using discipleship Plans
Below you will see a list of our discipleship plans. These plans are designed to be discussed week by week in a group of any size. The length of plans differ, please select the plan that fits your needs and time frame. We would encourage you to find a plan and walk through it with someone else. These plans are best utilized if you read the plan before you meet and develop your own questions and thoughts. Once you are done with a plan, we would encourage you to pick another plan and go through it with the person you are discipling or being discipled by. These plans are designed to foster conversation around Jesus and how we can grow closer to him and God. Please be in prayer as you seek who to disciple and who to be discipled by. If God is putting a face or name on your heart, have courage and ask them to join you in this process. We as a Creekside staff are praying for you as you enter into your discipleship process.
