Disciple Fast Track

Disciple Fast Track, an adaptation of the original, bestselling Disciple Bible Study, provides a viable option for busy people seeking comprehensive engagement over time with the entire biblical text. Fast Track groups meet for a total of 24 weeks, devoting 12 weeks each to the Old Testament and the New Testament. Participants read a manageable 3-5 chapters of the Bible daily in preparation for the weekly meetings, which last approximately 75 minutes. A brief, illustrated review video enables participants to recall important facts and ideas; lively and engaging video presenters then offer insights into the current week’s session.

 

The Walk to Emmaus

The walk to Emmaus is an experience of Christian spiritual renewal and formation that begins with a three-day short course in Christianity. It is an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ in a new way as God’s grace and love is revealed to you through other believers. Following the three-day experience, participants are joined in small groups to support each other in their ongoing walk with Christ.

 

Making Sense of the Bible

The Bible is core to the Christian faith and to our growth as followers of Jesus. But while the Bible was written for us it was not written to us. This can create problems when we try to read and apply the Bible to our lives. Making Sense of the Bible is a 6-week group study to help people learn some basic navigational skills. These skills can help us read the Bible with much greater understanding and benefit.
