Follow The Way

Matthew 4:19
Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me.”

Welcome to Follow The Way and our Discovery Discipleship Groups. Follow The Way is a 6-part Discipleship Journey that will introduce you to the Story of the Bible and guide you to maturity as a follower of Jesus Christ. Follow The Way is based on a discipleship process that is relational, biblical and intentional.

DISCOVERY

Instead of telling you what to believe and how to live, we’ll connect you with the Bible so you can discover that together as a group. Discovery promotes engagement in the process and ownership of the outcomes.

DISCIPLESHIP

Being a disciple is a whole-life response to Jesus as Savior and Lord. It’s about following Jesus and His way of life. As you grow in your faith and commitment to Jesus, you’ll learn to live your life as if He were in your shoes. Be with Jesus > Become like Jesus > Live like Jesus > Make Disciples of Jesus.

GROUP

You could go through Follow The Way on your own. You’ll get more out of it, however, if you work through it with 2 or 3 others. Consider finding a guide to coach you. This guide doesn’t have to be an expert in the faith. They just need to be a few steps ahead of you on the journey to point you in the right direction. Here’s a thought. After you have worked through Follow The Way, you’ll be ready to guide others through it.

Be with Jesus > Become like Jesus > Live like Jesus > Make Disciples of Jesus

THE JOURNEY

THE KNOW SET

Follow

The purpose of this 1-week introduction is to help you get to know each other and get a feel for what following Jesus is about. Rather than asking for a long-term commitment up front, Follow allows you to test drive this discipleship journey before committing.

Faith

Has anyone ever explained to you the Good News of the Bible? Faith is an 11-week guided tour of the main events, characters and storyline of the Bible. Through Faith, you’ll discover that the Good News is all about Jesus Christ.

THE GO SET

Fruit

Jesus calls us to join Him in mission to our circles of influence. We don’t need to do that on our own, however. As we remain in Jesus, He will help us produce the fruit of a missional life. Over 9 weeks, you’ll discover how to join Jesus in making disciples by living a Prayer > Care > Share > Dare lifestyle.

Filling

Just as Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit and lived an everyday supernatural life, so can we. In these 8 weeks, you’ll discover how to say yes to the Spirit and be empowered for Kingdom ministry. The life of a disciple isn’t meant to be lived in our own strength. We can walk in the power of the Spirit.

THE GROW SET

Foundations

God works great changes in the lives of those who believe and follow Jesus. These changes are the basic building blocks for our identity and maturity in Christ. In these 8 weeks, you’ll learn how to build your life upon the solid foundation of the truth of who you are in Christ.

Foundations

Freedom

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free (Galatians 5:1). You don’t have to be paralyzed by fear or tripped up by lies or crippled by bitterness or in bondage to sin. Over 10 weeks you’ll discover how to personally and practically embrace the freedom that Jesus has purchased for you.
