Journey Fellowship is not about getting people to grow a church but having a church to grow people. We are committed to personal growth and deep spiritual relationships. Our Discipleship Pathways are a great place to develop both.
Discipleship Pathways
At Journey Fellowship, our Discipleship Pathways are run by topic or age and are either continual or with a specified length. This allows our leaders to take a break, refresh themselves, and grow others to lead their own pathway. Our goal is threefold for our Discipleship Pathways:
- Grow in your intimacy with God – we want you to know God more
- Grow in community with insiders – those who are a part of the body of Christ
- Grow in influence with outsiders – those who do not yet believe
The core behaviors of our Discipleship Pathways are the same as our entire church: we invite, we connect, we coach, and we involve. Being a part of a pathway does not mean you come, sit, listen, and leave. It means being involved in ministry within your group. It means taking ownership. We hope you’ll find a Discipleship Pathway to be a part of this season!
