Why is discipleship an essential part of Christian education?
-
Christian schools have a unique opportunity to equip students academically and spiritually, preparing them to impact the world positively. By engaging in acts of service, participating in mission trips, and providing mentorship, students develop a deeper understanding of their purpose and grow in their faith.
-
Discipleship is an avenue for the fruits of sanctification to take place and grow. Through discipleship, more mature believers are joining with younger believers to live the good, bad, and ugly parts of life with them in order to walk beside them as the Holy Spirit offers growth and fruits. We can read the Bible to our students every day (and should!), but if we don’t truly take time to explain it to them and to care about who they are, they may not have as big of an opportunity to develop and grow in their walk with Christ.
