At FBC Jones, OK, our desire is to see a church who is making disciples. What is your next step on the discipleship pathway?
The discipleship pathway we use at FBC Jones is based on the model of Jesus' earthly ministry:
"We worship together weekly as a congregation. Just as Jesus led the 120. We gather in biblical community, just as Jesus gathered with the twelve disciples. We meet in groups of three to five, just as Jesus did with Peter, James, and John for another level of accountability and exponential spiritual growth. And finally, we minister to and reach the crowds through missions and service locally, regionally, and globally just as Jesus ministered to the crowds." (Gallaty & Swain, Replicate p. 120)
We'd like to challenge each of our members to have a healthy balance of discipleship relationships within each area of the pathway. If all our time and resources are in one space, we should consider reducing, moving, or adding to other areas where we can grow as disciples.
