What is it?


 

At The River, we want everyone that calls themselves a member to feel empowered and equipped to lead others to Christ, using the Bible as their roadmap. The River is offering our School of Discipleship. We offer four classes:

● Module 1: Foundations

● Module 2: Background

● Module 3: Growth

● Module 4: Deeper

 

Foundations is for anyone who meets the criteria listed below under "WHO." Since the nature of the courses are to build upon one another, Module 2 is exclusively for those who have qualified and completed the criterion from Module 1. Module 3 is exclusively for those who have qualified and completed the criterion from Module 2. Module 4 is exclusively for those who have qualified and completed the criterion from Module 3.

About the school of discipleship


  • The River offers an opportunity to participate in teaching and training that will help each individual grow to maturity and become a true worshiper and disciple of Jesus. The church is here to equip the saints for the work of the ministry. Submitting to the discipleship process will produce the unity of the faith God intended for His family. The scripture is full of teaching that shows us our responsibility to be equipped, be a good steward, and know God’s Word, ways, and voice. Because of what He’s done in our lives, we pursue becoming all His word declares: thoroughly furnished and full of the knowledge of the truth, living a life of holiness, and preparing in this life to hear ‘well done’ in the next.


  • We use the words "school" because that best describes the type of environment this is. Each class is a 6-week course. Our goal is to turn 'church attenders' into DISCIPLE MAKERS! "Follow me as I follow Christ!" This experience, and the material included will assist every believer in teaching and leading others on their journey with Jesus.
