The Compelling Call to Discipleship
Discipleship at FPC is “Learning from Jesus, to live like Jesus, by abiding in Jesus.”
Dr. Bill Pardue
So Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32
The Adult Discipleship Ministry Team’s primary concern is that the members of First Presbyterian Church reach full maturity in Christ. It is the intention of ADMT that all folks at any stage of maturity in Christ will find what is needed for them to grow to full maturity as faithful, fruitful followers of Jesus. The primary means of discipleship in our church is the message preached from the pulpit each Sunday.
