Adult Discipleship
The goal of Adult Discipleship is to develop devoted, maturing, and fruitful 21st century disciples whose lives effectively embrace worship, community, discipleship, outreach, and service.
"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." - Colossians 2:6
As you continue on your spiritual journey, there are many wonderful opportunities to grow at Grace Chapel throughout the church year!
