The Discipleship Path

"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…” (2 Peter 3:18a).  This isn’t just a good idea; it’s a command.  Jesus, in “The Great Commission,” tells His followers to make disciples, not just converts.  A Christian is a disciple by definition—one who wants more than anything else to be like the Master.  At Woodland Hills Christian Church, we offer a systematic plan and the support to help you move successfully along the path of life as you grow into the image and likeness of the Master.  I’ll be glad to answer any questions or help you in any way I can regarding discipleship at Woodland Hills.

Because He Lives,

Roger Phelps, Minister of Discipleship

    Step Out  The ultimate goal of the Christian journey is to glorify God by sharing the journey with others.  Disciples who follow Jesus on the path share their faith and use their gifts to serve others.  Ministry happens in part from within small groups, but also in and out of the church whenever and wherever there is a need and a Christian gifted to minister to that need.
