The Discipleship Pathway at Calvary

LEARNING, TRAINING, IN COMMUNITY

As followers of Jesus, our goal is to become more and more like Him in all aspects of our life. The Discipleship Pathway is designed to give a framework or categories to make that goal possible. We believe that, through the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, if we learn to think about God the way that Jesus did, if we train to live like Jesus lived through spiritual disciplines, and do so in the context of community…we can live the kind of life that Jesus lived.


We are a community of people who are trying to live as Jesus demonstrated and taught, we hope that you will allow us to come alongside you as you walk with Jesus.

LEARNING

Adopting the Narratives of Jesus

It is important for us to pay attention to the content that we allow into our minds and the information that we think about. As followers of Jesus, we need to make sure that we are thinking on things above (Colossians 3:2), and that we are renewing our minds (Romans 12:2).

Training

Practicing the Spiritual Disciplines

As we follow Jesus, we need to make sure that we are putting His Word into practice. These practices are called spiritual disciplines. These practices help us order our lives around Jesus and the Kingdom of God. The goal is to experience God’s presence more and more in our daily lives. Just as a musician or athletes train and practice, we train so that we can be more like Jesus.

Community

Everything is Best with Others

We were never created to live in isolation, instead, we were created for relationships. We were created to be in relationship with God and others. As followers of Jesus, we make an effort to walk with others as we all walk with Jesus. This looks like having a group of people in our lives to pray with, to serve with, and to grow with.
