Discipleship in the Home

The end goal of sending off a disciple into this world often seems like a distant light at the end of a long tunnel. To make that discipleship process more tangible, we want to help you develop a focused strategy for discipling your children. 
At its core, discipleship in the home is modeled, scheduled, and opportunistic:
​
Modeled – Modeling our faith is crucial in passing it on to our children. If we want our children to be about Jesus, we must be about Jesus and our children need to see it.
Scheduled – Part of our discipleship must be scheduled to ensure it happens. We need to be intentional about following a game plan and build in margin to make it happen. 
Opportunistic – As we go, we look for opportunities to disciple through meaningful interactions and conversations about life and faith. As important as they are, we can’t limit our discipleship to scheduled, structured interactions. We’re surrounded by opportunities that we can engage in for discipleship. We can prepare and learn to take advantage of those opportunities.

Discipleship in the Church

We want our ministry environments to stay focused on our goal of developing disciples. We can’t force any child to follow Christ or grow in their faith; but what we can do is nurture, train and provide opportunities. ​
