We have been working on hard on discipleship for a year or more. We are starting to see some fruit using the pattern of the old Methodist Class Meeting. We won't know for a while if it is truly fruitful-- only when we see people consistently involved and experiencing life transformation, being conformed to the Image of Christ.
But I also want to make sure that we don't miss that we have been doing this for some time, in other ways.
The men's prayer meeting on Wednesday mornings has functioned much like a class meeting for years.
Some Sunday school classes work very hard in terms of learning, fellowship, service, and most importantly, pastoral care of the members. This church would not function at such a high level without them.
The goal is to make discipleship a priority of the church, a commitment, not just something that happens here or there.
