What is the Discipleship Adventure?

Discipleship is a journey. Through discipleship we discover and encounter the story of God's presence in our lives and the world. We believe that discipleship is a continuous journey; that discipleship is learned and experienced; that discipleship magnifies God's presence in our lives, begins with a personal encounter with God nurtured in community, leads to the practice of spiritual disciplines, is expressed outwardly through mercy and justice, and shares its story.

This discipleship journey model is based on the Discipleship Adventure program model developed by Bishop John Schol of the Baltimore-Washington Annual Conference. The Baltimore-Washington Conference seeks to be like Christ as we call, equip, send and support spiritual leaders to make disciples and grow at least 600 Acts 2 congregations by 2012.
