OUR DISCIPLESHIP PATHWAY
We seek to create disciples in our context committed to the vision of transformation in Christ. This means living into a dual expression of church that includes both Gathered and Sent communities.
DISCIPLE’S JOURNEY, STEP 1
We invite you to connect with God’s people here at First Church through Step 1. If you wonder what connecting in faith in Jesus Christ is about or if you wish to connect as a new member, then Step 1 is for you.
The next Step 1 class will be five sessions on Sunday mornings from 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM (during our Social Hour), beginning January 19.
Led by Michelle Dixon, there are two ways to attend this course: in person, and online via ZOOM.
If you wish to join, please fill out this form.
DISCIPLE’S JOURNEY, STEP 2
If you have taken Step 1 and are considering your next step in discipleship, we invite you to take Step 2. Here, people begin to discover God’s call on their life so they might have a fuller understanding of that call and begin practicing multiplying discipleship more intentionally in the day to day life and in the context of God’s church.
The next Step 2 class will be six sessions on Mondays from 7:00-9:00 PM on October 21, October 28, November 4, November 11, November 18, and November 25 in the (FEC) fusebox (located at 604 Market St).
If you wish to join this course, please fill out the form below by Sunday, October 13.
DISCIPLE’S JOURNEY, STEP 3
Disciple’s Journey Step 3 involves a significant step of maturity of discipleship. It is specifically for those who are members of First Church, have completed Step 2, and are people we believe have strong leadership potential. Disciple’s Journey is one of the tools that we are developing to help equip leaders to enter into new frontiers of ministry and to be a part of a multiplying ministry. The goal of Step 3 is to foster multiplication DNA as you embrace God’s call as a leader.
The next Step 3 class will be nine sessions every other Monday from 7:00 – 9:00 PM in the fusebox in the FEC (located at 604 Market St): January 27, February 10, February 24, March 10, March 24, April 7, April 21, May 5, and May 19.

DISCIPLE’S JOURNEY, STEP 4
If you have taken Steps 1, 2, and 3, we invite you to fully live into your call as a disciple of Jesus Christ on a path of apprenticeship with a mentor. In this step, you will partner with a staff member to be released and commissioned to influence transformational movement in the kingdom of God.
Step 4 is an apprenticeship-style class requires the completion of Steps 1, 2, and 3, and an invitation by the Lead Pastor.
