Discipleship

 

WHY DO YOU NEED DISCIPLESHIP?

In life, we all need a teacher.

The day we were born, our parents were our first teachers. Growing up, we have our school teachers to guide us in our education. Then, we move up to our own fields of employment and businesses where we meet and are mentored by someone we look up to along the way.

This is the same way when we become Christians.  We need a mentor to lead us to maturity in Christ. This guidance that we need is what we call discipleship. Discipleship is the relationship between a teacher (a discipler following Jesus as an example) and student (a disciple following his teacher who is following Jesus as an example).

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:1– “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ (NCV).”  Being a disciple of Jesus simply means that you are modeling your life—your thoughts, your words, your actions, your everything—after the example and teaching Jesus has given us. This kind of discipleship simply refers to the process through which Jesus turns us into people who trust and follow him.

AN INVITATION TO INTENTIONAL DISCIPLESHIP:

Maybe, you have been around WWCF-Cebu for quite some time or you are just new in the church or you just simply stop by to view this website. And there is this nudging in your heart to dig deeper into what it means to know and follow Jesus. We believe that this is the reason why WWCF-Cebu exists for you. Just like the others who have found Jesus and are on their path to a meaningful relationship with Him, we are here to help you. Together, we will walk with you through your discipleship journey with Christ.   

Following Jesus and guiding others to follow God happen in an environment where an accountability group assists you in helping you grow in the knowledge and love of God. The relationships that are built in the life group meetings and other mentoring classes will increase your desire to pursue God. We encourage you to attend our WWCF-Cebu Sunday Service or life group meetings and find joy in this new life with us.


 THE CORES OF DISCIPLESHIP

The CORES OF DISCIPLESHIP follow a four-part process:

CONNECT (JOIN IN!)

CHURCH TO COMMUNITY. Because everyone matters to God, we believe that we grow best when we CONNECT through relationship with others.

CONSOLIDATE (TEAM UP!)

SEEKER TO BELIEVER. Because finding a church you can call “home” may not be easy, we CONSOLIDATE and TEAM UP with you to grow in your discipleship journey with God.

COMMIT (GET STRONG!)

BELIEVER TO DISCIPLE. Because we believe that when we make disciples, lives change which leads disciples to COMMIT to serve God and one another.

CHARGE (KEEP ON!)

DISCIPLE TO LEADER. Because we recognize that as we become fully engaged in the church, we CHARGE people on to raise up leaders who will become leaders of leaders.
