Why is discipleship an essential part of Christian education?
-
It’s so important to mentor and teach the next generation of disciples for Christ. This is how we spread the word to everyone.
-
This is because we can’t just teach our students truth and leave them to fend for themselves. They need to learn truth and grow in it. It is a partnership with the parents to help them grow.
-
Being a determined follower of Christ is the most essential part. There is nothing more important than building followers of Christ. We want our scholars prepared to do God’s work more than their own.
-
Discipleship is essential because this was one of the commandments of Christ. We are called to walk with people of God and help them to grow in their walk with God. This takes time and intentional focus to grow in intimacy and discipleship with the Lord.
-
Because it’s precisely what Jesus did with the men he chose. We can’t be followers of Christ if we can’t demonstrate that we are disciples. I like Paul ask my students to follow me as I follow Christ.
