DISCIPLESHIP & DISCIPLE-MAKING
FOR MEN & WOMEN
WHAT IS A DISCIPLE?
Jesus gave the original call to "follow me." By definition, then, a disciple is one who follows Jesus. In particular, it is one who disciplines his or her life after the teachings of Jesus.
While that definition is a simple one, we believe that is changes your life completely. Here is why: It is impossible to be a disciple or follower of someone and not end up like that person - yet many think they can be a Christian and not be like Christ. They think they can be a follower who doesn't follow.

Intentionally equipping believers with Scripture through accountable relationships, empowered by the Holy Spirit, in order to replicate faithful followers of Christ.

"Intentionally equipping believers with Scripture"
- Discipleship doesn't happen by accident or chance or coincidence, but rather through intentional study and application of the Bible.
- This is what sets Replicate apart from just another Bible study. We plug you in to a group where you can openly and safely confess struggles and sin, and that can rarely happen in a Sunday school class.
- We have to learn to quit trying to form ourselves by our own strength and learn to rely upon the power of the Holy Spirit to transform us from the inside out.
- The process of discipleship is not complete until the player becomes the coach.
