As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17
Christian discipleship is the process by which believers grow in the Lord Jesus Christ and are equipped by the Holy Spirit to overcome the pressures and trials of this present life, while becoming more and more Christ-like. The goal of Calvary Chapel discipleship is to implement Jesus' great commission of Matthew 28:18-20 through classroom sessions, Bible study and practical ministry. The discipleship process requires believers to respond to the Holy Spirit's prompting to examine their thoughts, words and actions, and compare them with the Word of God. As disciples, we purpose to teach what we learn, passing on knowledge that we gain. We also purpose to share life - a relational process whereby we develop deeper relationships with those we disciple. Christian discipleship is a lifestyle of following Jesus Christ.
