What are we doing at Uptown Church to prepare
the saints for works of service? There are a number of different
resources that are available that members of Uptown can utilize
in order to promote their spiritual development. These include
things like Sunday School, Life Groups, strategic training seminars,
retreats, and many others. At the center of all these resources
is a relationship with a spiritual mentor that can help guide
the member through the various resources at his disposal. This
concept of mentor-based training is foundational to the entire
process and accomplishes two critical tasks: (i) It allows Discipleship
Training to happen within the contexts of loving relationships,
(ii) It allows Discipleship Training to be specialized and focused
upon the specific needs of each person, rather than occurring
in a "one size fits all" manner.
The purpose of this manual is to help members
of Uptown Church learn how to begin this program of Discipleship
Training. It will proceed step by step through entire process
and will reference several charts and forms that will appear in
the appendices at the end of this manual. Please note that allcharts,
forms and training modules are available for on-line viewing or
to download for printing purposes
So, let us proceed to examine the various steps
in the Discipleship Training program. All of these steps in this
manual are documented on the flow chart, Chart 1, Finding Your
Bearings: Discipleship Training Process, which is found in Appendix
I. This flow chart is a helpful overall guide to the Discipleship
Training process and should be referred to regularly.
