Description

Introduction

Many people, especially youth and young adults, are looking for meaning and purpose in a seemingly hopeless world. They face increasingly difficult life circumstances, but do not have the foundation, values, and wisdom to deal with them. Jesus is the answer. Life is found in loving and following him.

Purpose

God has a plan to reach the world with his love and salvation—he uses people. Since the

creation of mankind he has called people to be with him, to be like him, and to do what he does. There is a progression to this process. A person involved in this process is a disciple, which means learner or follower. The Footsteps School of Discipleship is a practical, one-year interactive Bible study designed to move people through this process from getting to know God through being used by him to reach others.

Target Audience

The Footsteps School of Discipleship trains new and young Christians who believe in Jesus to save

them from their sin and want to be trained through the Holy Spirit to carry out God’s will. So it is designed for new Christians.

However, Footsteps can also benefit non-believers seeking the truth, as well as, mature Christians.

If you have not come to trust Jesus as your savior, we invite you to continue reading and going through at least the overview course: All for God and the first course: Believing in Jesus. Both give you a solid foundation of who God is and how you can have a relationship with him. If you have been following Christ for a while Footsteps will teach you principles for making disciples of others.

What you'll learn

Requirements

Students use an inductive approach to study a book of the Bible individually and then share what they discover in a small group. So you will need a bible, a way to take notes, an openness to learn and change as God directs you, and a partner or small group to interact with as you go through the study together. Each course takes roughly 8-12 weeks and highlights foundations of faith to learn, character to change, spiritual disciplines to develop, and practical actions to take.
