Discipleship Opportunities The Anatomy of a Disciple: So Many Believers. So Few Disciples. is an incredibly fresh, practical and relatable read, identifying 8 elements of Christ's life that ought to be reflected in yours: Humbly Submitted. Biblically Formed. Sacrificially Generous. Morally Discerning. Relationally Healthy. Intentional Blessing. Culturally Engaged. Inclusive Community. Using these 8 elements, The Anatomy of a Disciple Self-Assessment identifies areas where you are becoming more like Christ and those that are far from the Lord. What if you knew exactly what a disciple of Christ looked like? What if you knew with certainty whether or not you were actively becoming more like Him? Do you think your spiritual life would look different? Do you think it would feel different? Wednesday Nights April 20th June 8th 7:00 PM-8:00 PM Room 131 Join us as we read this prophetic text.
