The Discipleship Path

Here at Lakes Free we recognize that as followers of Jesus Christ we are on a spiritual journey known as discipleship.  The goal of this journey is to grow closer to Jesus and to bring glory to his name.  We do this as we become more like Christ in our own lives and as we seek to share the good news of Jesus with others.  Have you considered where you are on your journey with Jesus Christ?  If you would like to explore the journey of discipleship further, please take a look at our Discipleship Path here at Lakes Free for some helpful suggestions for how you might take the next step in your own personal journey with Christ.

Basic Discipleship Track

While there are numerous small group offerings during the year here at Lakes Free, there are three groups in particular that we as a church would strongly encourage you to attend:

1. Discipleship Explored
2. Knowing & Growing for Life
3. The Truth Project

These three small groups make up the Basic Discipleship Track here at Lakes Free.

The Basic Discipleship Track was developed for the purpose of highlighting three key areas (or the 3-D's) that are essential for all followers of Christ to understand:  Discipleship, Disciplines, and giving a Defense.  Discipleship Explored examines what it means to be a disciple or follower of Jesus Christ.  Knowing & Growing for Life explores some of the key spiritual disciplines or practices essential for growing in your relationship with the Lord.  And The Truth Project is a powerful worldview study that examines why we believe what we believe and how we can defend and share our faith in the secular world.

While these three small groups are not the "be all" and "end all" of discipleship, we believe that they will provide you with a strong foundation as you seek to grow in maturity as a follower of Christ.  Thus, we strongly encourage you to attend each of them at some point.  Upon completing each of the three sections of the Basic Discipleship Track you will be awarded a certificate of completion from the Adult Ministries team here at Lakes Free.  This is just one small way that we can honor your accomplishment and recognize your dedication and commitment to growing in Christ.

The Basic Discipleship Track can be completed in any timeframe and you do not need to take the three offerings in any particular order.  If you have any questions about the Basic Discipleship Track here at Lakes Free please contact Pastor Jason Carlson.
