Our desire is to partner with parents in the discipleship of their children so that all who come through our doors will come to know, love and serve the Lord Jesus Christ. Our Dream --“To Biblically equip young people to become mature followers of Christ within a unified serving body.”

When Paul wrote his good friend and fellow-laborer Timothy, he gave him very simple and clear instructions:
You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. (2 Timothy 2:1-2)
Discipleship is the backbone of Christianity. It is teaching the basics, the boot camp for Christians who want to grow in their faith. It involves commitment, but the rewards are exciting and eternal.
Through discipleship you can discover the absolute wonder and joy of developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our foundational tool for discipleship is a workbook written by Pastor Ed Underwood, of Church of the Open Door, called, Beginning in Grace.
