BASIC TRAINING DISCIPLESHIP CLASS
​
A Foundational Journey for Spiritual Growth
​
The Basic Training Discipleship Class is a structured, accessible learning experience designed to help everyday believers grow in spiritual clarity, consistency, and maturity.
​
This course is not about religious performance or information overload. It is about formation — understanding how faith takes shape in real life, within real community, and through intentional practice.
​
Each session builds on the one before it, creating a clear discipleship pathway that moves participants from personal awareness to purposeful living.

Session 1 – The Conversion Journey
Participants explore what conversion truly means by walking through Acts 9:1–20. This session focuses on awareness, transformation, and the early stages of spiritual change. Learners examine how growth often begins with discomfort, honest reflection, and intentional response.
Session 2 – The Call to Commitment
Using Matthew 19:16–26, this session examines the difference between curiosity and commitment. Participants reflect on priorities, attachments, and the internal barriers that can prevent deeper engagement with faith.
Session 3 – The Call to Community
Acts 2:42–47 serves as the foundation for understanding spiritual growth within community. This session highlights connection, contribution, care, celebration, and continuity as essential practices for healthy faith development.
Session 4 – The Call to Communication (Prayer)
Grounded in Matthew 6:9–13, this session reframes prayer as intentional communication shaped by relationship, alignment, honesty, and endurance. Participants learn how prayer forms perspective and sustains spiritual movement
Session 5 – The Call to Connection (Scripture)
Using 2 Timothy 3:16–17, this session helps participants engage Scripture thoughtfully and responsibly. Emphasis is placed on understanding context, reflecting deeply, responding practically, and allowing Scripture to shape daily living
