Growth phases

GROWTH PHASES are one of the primary biblical methods of discipling people into Christlike maturity.

Growth phases provide the relevant New Testament Biblical teachings in a step-by-step format that we all must understand and apply in order to be established in our relationship with Jesus and His purpose for our lives. Each Thursday night, Growth Phases will go over what the Scriptures say and the early Church demonstrated about God’s “divine design for discipleship.” There are four phases that are each 12 weeks in length.

FOUNDATION PHASE

“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3:11).”

TRANSFORMATION PHASE

24 teaching outlines

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will (Romans 12:1-2).”

FORMATION PHASE

GROWTH STUDIES

There are also opportunities for ongoing spiritual growth through Bible classes and additional contexts that provide topical studies of God’s Word.
