Discipleship
Discipleship is the intensely personal activity of two or more people helping each other experience a growing relationship with God. Discipleship is being before doing, maturity before ministry.
Every Christian is both a disciple and a discipler in the context of his Christian relationships. We all have the awesome privilege and responsibility both to be a teacher and a learner of what it means to be in Christ, walk in the spirit, and live by faith. Each of us has a role in our family, church, or Christian community which gives us a specific responsibility for discipling others, such as husband/father, pastor, Sunday school teacher, children's ministry leader, etc. But even as appointed disciplers, we are never not a disciple who is learning and growing in Christ through our relationships.
Conversely, you may not have an "official" responsibility to disciple anyone, but you are never not a discipler. You have the opportunity to help your children, your friend, and other believers grow in Christ through your caring and committed relationship with them.
The links to the left show just a few of the ways that disciplers and disciples interact with each other at Grace Fellowship Church.
