Discipleship happens best in community

WHY HAVE A SCHOOL OF DISCIPLESHIP

At Abundant Life Church, we believe that spiritual growth and maturity cannot occur on our Sunday gatherings alone. Rather, transformation, change, and spiritual formation happens best in intentional communities, and environments dedicated developing believers to become more like Jesus.

The School of Discipleship is how we answer the great commission on Matthew 28:19-20: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

HOW WE MAKE DISCIPLES

  • We use the Bible as the primary text in a variety of learning environments to establish and educate students in the vital truths of God’s Word as they pursue a Christ-centered life.

  • Students will be empowered and equipped to confidently represent and serve Christ in every area of their lives.

  • We create environments where students can encounter God’s presence and experience His power.

  • As students apply the scriptures to their lives, they will give credible evidence to the reality of God – ready to influence a complex and changing world.

  • Students will be comfortable sharing what they learn with others and have impact that expands far beyond the classroom.
