Jesus calls everyone to follow him and be his disciple, that’s what Christians are – disciples of Jesus. Guess what he did with his first followers in order to train them to be his disciples? He formed a small group and taught and trained them for the next three years.

Before Jesus returned to his Father he told his disciples to go and make more disciples (Matthew 28:18-20) and they went out and did just that. Guess what they did? They went out and proclaimed Jesus as the risen Son of God and the Savior for all people, and those who responded and believed were taught and trained like Jesus taught and trained them. That is why we believe everyone should be part of a small disciple-making group where you can learn what Jesus and the Word of God says, where you can observe in others what that looks like, where you can ask questions, where you can be honest, where you can feel loved, and where you can grow into a mature disciple.
