Disciple Series

The Disciple series is an intensive overview of the Biblical narrative. Over the course of an academic year, participants immerse themselves in the Old and New Testaments. Discipleship is intended to be a life-transformational event for those who participate fully in the course and open themselves to the experience. Many of those people who have participated in previous years have drawn closer to God and taken a step up in their level of commitment to God and the community.

Disciple III: Remember Who You Are
