Discipleship Foundations
God calls us to a life of discipleship, a personal walk with him where we learn to live our whole life in the way of Christ and encourage others to do the same. Our Discipleship Foundations event is a day of learning and fellowship in the lovely Northeast where we review and build discussion around some of our foundational discipleship teachings.

Breakouts
Discipleship in the Everyday
Spectacular or “ah-ha” moments are the aim of discipleship – right? The reality is that most of life can be fairly mundane. Faithfulness in the workplace, parenting, campus and other common areas of life have the potential to bear the fruit of discipleship as well. In this breakout, we will consider how to approach our “every day” with a lens of discipleship.

Our Emotional Health and Discipleship
For better and for worse, you bring all of who you are into every relationship you have. Your internal emotional life is deeply tied to your external relational life. How can a community of Christ-followers care for the emotional health of its members?
