Discipleship Activities - Adults
Discipleship…becoming more like Jesus
The essence of Discipleship at Heritage is a deepening relationship with Jesus through the study of His word and obedience to it, the ministry of the Holy Spirit and by being mentored by other disciples. (John 17:3, II Cor 5:17, Phil 1:9-11)
