One of the greatest character qualities of the Christian is faithfulness.  In fact, the first lesson in this course is devoted to the understanding of faithfulness and what it means to those who desire to be true disciples of Christ.  Conversely, one of the greatest needs of the local church today is faithful workers.

This course may well prove to be one of the most important experiences of your life! For twelve weeks the student will be challenged, encouraged, trained and most certainly stretched.

For those who endure, however, the blessings that this discipleship class yields will be many.  Each student’s experience is a little bit different.  As the weeks progress, the Holy Spirit will take the teachings each student receives and graft it into their life through daily devotions, and other disciplines.

It is essential that the student give of themselves unreservedly to this discipleship program. In any area of life, we may approach the challenges that we face with varying degrees of commitment.  And usually, we receive from life precisely what we put into it. The same may be said of this course. Don’t settle for mediocrity when God offers you excellence.
