As a church, we state that our Grow/Go/Gather mission strategy reflects our desire to make disciples of Jesus (Matthew 28:18-20) who in turn make more disciples. For us discipleship is not classroom/building based but more about a life-long daily apprenticeship of following Jesus, being like Him, obeying Him, proclaiming Him and glorifying Him (Mark 8:34 and Colossians 1:15-20). This is our aim but what does this really looks like as we slowly emerge out of lockdown i.e. what is a disciple, what does a disciple do, how does a disciple live etc are all questions to be addressed in this series.
