DISCIPLING
A disciple is someone who…
is following Jesus,
is being changed by Jesus,
and is committed to the
mission of Jesus
BOBBY HARRINGTON
Disciple Making is a deliberate
relationship in which we walk
alongside other disciples to encourage,
equip and challenge one another in
love to grow toward maturity in Christ.
This includes equipping the disciple to
make disciples who make disciples.

from the work of
Robbie Gallaty,
Replicate Ministries.
DISCIPLESHIP COVENANT
I will commit to the following:
• I give myself fully to the Lord
expecting that I am entering a time
of accelerated spiritual
transformation.
• I will meet with my group for
approximately XX hours XX
times each week, unless a
major problem stops me.
• I will complete all work before
the meeting.
• I will take an active part in the
discussion.
• I will treat what is said as
confidential.
• I will be honest and open so
as to help others, as well as to
help my own spiritual growth.
• I will pray every week for the
other people in the group.
• I will pray about starting a new
discipleship group which would
begin as soon as this group
finishes.
