WHAT DO WE MEAN BY BE A DISCIPLE?
A disciple is follower of Jesus—a redeemed person living under Christ the King, seeking to be transformed more and more into His likeness and helping others to do the same.
WHAT IS OUR VISION FOR DISCIPLESHIP AT CBC?
At CBC, we view disciple-making not as a program of the church, but as is an identity of the Christian. It should permeate everything we do! We desire to be a church of disciples of Jesus helping to make other disciples of Jesus. This means our expectation is that every member of the church would see it as their responsibility to help others grow in Christ. We desire to have a culture where this happens and often and naturally in both the programs of discipleship and everyday life.
Our discipleship Program
How we disciple others
Discipling others means helping a person grow in character (heart-transformation resulting in a new lifestyle), conviction (thinking Christianly about the world), and competence (skills necessary to know and serve God and others). This happens through formal programs CBC is working to establish like GAP and GRO, the preaching of God’s word on Sunday’s, studying God’s word in men’s and women’s bible study groups, and through organic relationships we develop with each other.
GAP Program
Gods Alternative Plan
GAP is an acronym that stands for Gods Alternate Plan. It is a program meant to bring 8-10 men/women together who want to walk according the plan of God rather than according to the wisdom of the world.
