Grow as a Disciple

Spiritual practices to make progress in Christ-centered living (Oct-Nov 2026)

Following Jesus is more than believing the right things. As disciples, we are called to keep growing, allowing Christ to shape our hearts, our priorities, our relationships, and the way we live each day.

Beginning October 25, Grow as a Disciple continues our focus on deeper discipleship by exploring spiritual practices that help us make progress in Christ-centered living. We will begin with worship, recognizing that from worship comes growth, and from growth comes greater worship. From there, we will explore how prayer, personal transformation, Christian community, and living on mission help us become more like Jesus.

Spiritual growth doesn't happen by accident. It happens as we intentionally seek God and allow Him to work in our lives. Wherever you are in your walk with Christ, this series is an invitation to take another step toward a life increasingly centered on Him.

Bible Reading Plan | October 26 - November 27

Growing as a disciple happens as we intentionally make room for God to shape us. Throughout this series, our Bible Reading Plan will help us continue exploring each Sunday's theme through Scripture, moving from worship to prayer, transformation, community, and living on mission.

The readings are intentionally manageable and can be used for your personal Bible reading or family devotions. As you read, consider what God is revealing about Himself and where He may be inviting you to grow.

Printed Bible Reading Plan bookmarks are available at the Welcome Center and church office.
