At its core discipleship is the process of devoting oneself to learn from the teachings of Jesus and follow His example. But this understanding is just too simple and doesn't
encompass everything Jesus taught about being formed in His image.
Stewardship
How we manage our time, talents and finances is an important part of our discipleship. Over the next year we will be working on this aspect of discipleship. Look out for information and guidance about giving in church and what this means for each of us. For more information then visit our giving page here.
Discipleship at St Mary's
If you have read the article you will realise that 'Discipleship' is a large topic that covers a wide variety of areas. At St Mary's we are striving to improve our whole life discipleship through prayer, worship, bible study, and community. Throughout the year there will be courses run that help up to transform, change, and grow. Look out for information throughout the year of the current courses that we run.
One important way to grow your discipleship is to be involved in a 'Life Group'. These are groups of peoples that meet every week or every fortnight to help each other in our faith journey's. For more information please read the article here.
