SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Jesus called the disciples, and they left everything to follow Him. He taught them, trained them, and showed them how to be His disciples and how to make new disciples. His final command to them was to make disciples wherever they went. Today, however, the command to become disciples and make new disciples appears to have a watered down meaning. Yet the call to becoming a disciple has a clear, biblical path for believers to follow, and following that call is a must. This project explored how disciples should mature throughout their spiritual journey. The project involved teachings developed from the sixteen outcomes identified by the dimensions of spiritual formation and personal wholeness in the Discipleship Dynamics Assessment. From the biblical-theological research, lessons were developed into a weekly classroom structure to benefit Trinity Chapel Assembly of God members. The weekly sessions underscored the assessment and brought to light the need for whole life, discipleship practices.
