Discipleship

 

The Goal of Discipleship
 

Paul tells us in Romans, "Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." (Romans 12:2)

At Christ Church we want to offer classes and groups that will renew minds and transform hearts. Are you in need of renewal? Are you ready for a change? Do you want to grow deeper in your faith?

If so we invite you to join a discipleship class or group as together we grow in Christ.

You select the people, the time, and the place. Let’s face it: living in Northern Virginia makes it almost impossible for us to be able to join together one time a week. Throw in vacations and sports, and it’s a nightmare to get everyone together at one time!  But wait: what if we left a few of the details up to you?  What if you picked a group of your best friends to have dinner with on a regular basis?  We’ll throw in the study resources, you find a time that works (eat out, pot-luck, etc.). Contact Pastor Chad at pastorchad@christchurchva.org or 703.690.3401.

Materials’ Cost:  $0
