Jesus + Discipleship

Our Formation Class: Jesus + Discipleship is designed to form and equip group leaders and apprentices in the heart of discipleship at Church in the Square — learning how to become like Jesus and help others do the same. Through four sessions, we’ll explore what it means to live as God’s beloved children in everyday life and help others do the same. Each week focuses on one of our core discipleship values — Seek Truth, Show Love, and Stay Curious — to empower our leaders to cultivate a life that reflects the grace, compassion, and curiosity of Christ in our church and city.

Each session blends teaching, discussion, and resource reflection to foster both learning and practice. Together, leaders will discover how discipleship is not just a program or meeting, but a way of life shaped by intimacy with the Father, imitation of the Son, and attentiveness to the Spirit. The aim is simple yet profound: to become people who live and lead out of love — rooted in truth, formed by grace, and marked by a deep curiosity that invites others to encounter Jesus in community.
