During the beginning of 2008, Pastor Mike outlined our model for discipleship illustrated below. Discipleship is a recognizable process of life transformation based on these 7 key characteristics:

  • Passionately Committed to Jesus Christ—Wholeheartedly abandoning my heart and will to Him as Lord and to His will as my command
  • Biblically Measured—Letting God guide my life through His Word and the Spirit’s use of the Word in my everyday choices
  • Morally Pure—Making ethical choices that are consistent with the new life I have in Christ
  • Family Centered—Making choices in my life that are consistent with my design to live and grow in vital relationships, including marriage, family, and biblical community
  • Financially Faithful—Making financial choices in my life that are consistent with the gracious heart of God
  • Socially Responsible—Reaching out to others in my sphere of opportunity with works of service in His name
  • Evangelistically Bold—Reaching out to others in my sphere of opportunity with words of hope in His name
