What Is A Disciple?

In order to pursue our mission we have adopted a biblical profile that describes a disciple of Jesus Christ in terms of Loving God and Loving People:

A disciple is a follower of Jesus who is seeking to become like the Savior through a transforming relationship with Him.

A disciple loves God by:

• Learning to surrender to Christ as Savior and Lord in all areas of life, understanding and continuing to live out of God's grace. (Luke 14:25-27,33)
• Abiding in God's Word and continually applying it to life. (John 8:31-32; James 1:22-25)
• Praying privately and with the church body. (John 15:7; Ephesians 6:18)
• Increasingly bearing the fruit of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23; John 15:1-5, 8, 16)

A disciple loves people by:

• Living in loving community with God's people, identifying with and serving other believers. (John 13:34-35; Galatians 5:13; 6:9-10)
• Demonstrating Christ to people who are not currently following God by living among them, loving them, and serving them. (Matthew 4:19; 5:16)
• Learning to trust God with everything He gives them, allowing Him control over how to use those things. (Luke 14:33)
• Increasingly bearing the fruit of helping others to follow Jesus and to grow in their relationship with Him. (Matthew 28:19-20)
