DISCIPLE Bible Study


The DISCIPLE Bible Study program is designed to develop strong Christian leaders, focusing on the disciple as learner, believer, follower, proclaimer, and servant. The program also provides the fellowship of a small group for study, prayer, preparation, support, and servanthood. DISCIPLE groups consist of 8 to 14 members and a designated facilitator, meeting weekly for approximately two hours for 32 to 34 weeks. As part of the instruction, class sessions use either VHS or DVD format prepared by outstanding Bible scholars. DISCIPLE classes promote fellowship and nourish personal relationships of the group members.
