Disciple I

The DISCIPLE Bible Study program is designed to develop strong Christian local churches through the in-depth study of Scripture. Through DISCIPLE, persons are strengthened in their faith and guided into service and ministry. Strong, biblically nourished leadership will help your church grow in vitality and Christian discipleship. This series of four in-depth, high committment studies will take participants from Genesis through Revelation twice, once in an overview during Disciple: Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study, and then more in depth through the subsequent three phases. The subsequent phases do not need to be taken in any particular order, but it is highly recommended to complete Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study first. Disciple I: Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study is divided between Old and New Testaments and takes participants from Genesis through Revelation prompting them along the way to consider their human condition and become disciples. ~ 34 weeks. Disciple I class begins Tuesday, September 20th. It runs from 6:30-8:30. Contact Barb Horsch for more information.
