The Disciple Program
Disciple is a program of disciplined bible study aimed at
developing strong Christian leaders. Disciple focuses
on the disciple as learner, believer, follower, proclaimer, servant. Disciple
provides the fellowship of the small group for study, prayer, and preparation
for servanthood. Disciple assumes that the Bible is the key
to renewal in the church. Disciple affirms that the canon
was formed as it is in order for God to speak to us. Disciple
gives Old and New Testaments equal time, emphasizing the wholeness of the
Bible as the revelation of God. Disciple draws upon the work
of scholars to aid understanding of the Bible. The purpose of the
Disciple
may be expressed in the words of Ephesians 4:12: "to equip the saints for
the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ."
