Discipleship Strategy/ Estratehiya sa Pagkadisipulo

We have a defined discipleship pathway: Worship, Connect, Serve, Influence. Our

aim is to love and lead people to a life-changing connection with Christ by leading
people to encounter God in true worship, to engage in real connectedness in the
Body, to learn to serve in the Body according to gifts, and then to work together
to influence the world around us with the power and love of Jesus. We currently
have about 60% involvement of our adults in a connect group for intentional
discipleship. We recently launched an intensive discipleship foundations program
called ROOTED which was developed by Mariners Church. We’ve had about 150
people go through ROOTED in the first semester of it. Through ROOTED, disciples
get foundational theology, a three hour prayer experience, a one-day missional
serve experience, a stronghold-breaking session, a prophetic prayer
commissioning – all in a ten week small group community format.
Kita adunay usa ka piho nga dalan sa pagkadisipulo: Pagsimba, Pagkonektar,
Pag-alagad, Pag-impluwensya. Ang atong tumong mao ang paghigugma ug
paggiya sa mga tawo ngadto sa usa ka makapausab sa kinabuhi nga koneksyon
uban kang Kristo pinaagi sa paggiya sa mga tawo sa pagsugat sa Dios diha sa
tinuod nga pagsimba, sa pag-apil sa tinuod nga koneksyon diha sa Lawas, sa
pagkat-on sa pag-alagad diha sa Lawas sumala sa mga gasa, ug unya sa
pagtrabaho. maghiusa sa pag-impluwensya sa kalibutan sa atong palibut uban
sa gahum ug gugma ni Jesus. Kita sa pagkakaron adunay mga 60% nga pag-apil
sa atong mga hamtong sa usa ka connect nga grupo alang sa tinuyo nga
pagkadisipulo. Bag-o lang mi naglunsad og intensive discipleship foundations
program nga gitawag og ROOTED nga gimugna sa Mariners Church. Naa miy
mga 150 ka tawo nga nakaagi sa ROOTED sa unang semester niini. Pinaagi sa
ROOTED, ang mga disipulo makakuha og pundasyon nga teolohiya, tulo ka oras
nga kasinatian sa pag-ampo, usa ka adlaw nga kasinatian sa pag-alagad sa
misyon, usa ka sesyon sa pagguba sa kuta, usa ka propetikanhon nga pag-ampo
nga komisyon - tanan sa usa ka napulo ka semana nga gamay nga grupo sa
komunidad nga pormat.

So you will actually end up investing more time than your
normal hours because of this fact. This is an at-will arrangement
at this time. We request that you practice the spiritual discipline
of tithing in worship at Centerpoint , as a matter of your own
faith and as an example for the Body. This is an at- will
employment agreement. We’re asking you for a gentleman’s

you will be a long-term part of this team well beyond a year, as
the Lord provides and directs. *We ask members to commit to
volunteering in ministry 3-5 or more hours per week after their
real job; that same attitude must be modeled in the staff as well.
