Vision for Peer Discipleship

 

Discipleship is an intentional journey leading to maturity in our relationship with Jesus so that we become more like Him in our attitudes, focus and ultimately behaviour.

 

In addition to the importance of being in a small group, we also recognise there is a high value of meeting in even smaller groups on a regular basis for ‘peer discipleship’. The aim is to encourage, support and challenge one another at a level of honesty, authenticity and accountability which can sometimes be more difficult in a larger small group.

 

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. (Ephesians 4:14-15 NIV)
