Discipleship One
Discipleship is one of the foundational ministries at Decatur Baptist. It is the first step in getting grounded in the word of God, the cornerstone for developing spiritual growth, and the entryway to ministry.
The process of discipleship is facilitated by the transference of spiritual maturity from one believer to another by utilizing our 14 lessons as the vehicle to establish a foundation. These lessons are not designed for group Bible studies, as evangelistic tracts, or to make an opportunity for social, political or educational debate. In addition, they are not a way for the discipler to brainwash, manipulate or control the disciple.
The discipleship lessons are designed to systematically take the disciple through the building blocks of the word of God by studying and applying 14 key, fundamental areas of the Christian faith. The intent is to accomplish four primary Biblical goals. These goals are consistent with our mission as a church to mold each individual into the image of Christ and mobilize all to minister the word of God to the world.
Goals of Discipleship:
- Establish the disciple in the Word of God
- Establish the disciple in the Fellowship of believers
- Establish the disciple in the Structure of the Local Church
- Establish the disciple in the Ministry of Christ
Discipleship material is now available in the Library. If you have any questions, please contact Randy Copeland or call the church office.
