Disciples Studies

The purpose of Disciple Bible study is:
“To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.” Ephesians 4:12

The Disciple Bible Study program is designed to develop strong 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 helps our church grow in vitality and Christian discipleship. What you can expect from the Disciple Bible Study program are biblically nourished persons committed to live as disciples. Persons taking part in this study will learn the meaning of servant leadership.

Disciple is a program of disciplined Bible study aimed at developing strong Christian leaders. It focuses on the disciple as learner, believer, follower, proclaimer, and servant while providing the fellowship of a small group for study, prayer, preparation, support, and servant hood.

Disciple assumes that the Bible is key to renewal in the church and affirms that the canon was formed as it is in order for God to speak to us. The study gives the Old and New Testaments equal time, emphasizing the wholeness of the Bible as a revelation of God and draws upon the work of scholars. Disciple aims at transformation, not just information. to aid understanding of the Bible.
