Discipleship at LifePoint Church

In John 1:39 Jesus extends an invitation to His first disciples by saying, "Come and you will see." Jesus' invitation to come and see was an invitation to explore his life, teachings, and the claims He made of Himself. If Jesus started here, we will too. The first step in discipleship at LifePoint is one of exploration. We want to walk with you as you explore the life, teachings, and claims of Jesus Christ.  A foundational knowledge of the person, life, and teachings of Jesus serves as the bedrock of the Christian life. 

 John 3:22 tells us that Jesus “spent time with [his disciples]”. The Greek word translated “spent time with” here is diatribō. It means “getting under the skin of.” Jesus gave His disciples time to get to know Him and took time to invest in them. If Jesus took time to build long and meaningful relationships we should too. We want to help you connect to Jesus Christ through a deep study of his life. We believe that disciples who Walk Like Jesus should be a part of a real community of believers who will "spur one another on to love and good deeds" (Heb. 10:24)

1 John 2:6 says, "Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked." The goal of discipleship is to be made more like Jesus. Our heart is that everyone who walks through this process would think, speak, act, pray, and worship like Jesus.  Dallas Willard put it this way, “Discipleship is the process of becoming who Jesus would be if he were you.”  

The Great Commission found in Matthew 28 commands all believers, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations"  Discipleship is more than a process it's a lifestyle.  Fully formed disciples go and make disciples. After you have been walked through this process we expect you to begin walking alongside if other believers as they Explore, Connect, Grow, and Multiply.
