DISCIPLE Bible Study Mini-Training Event

Are there people in your congregation who are hungering for the Word of God? DISCIPLE Bible Study can help transform your church into a biblically nourished congregation that nurtures and encourages people to live as disciples of Christ.

FUMC Gladewater will host a DISCIPLE Bible Study Mini-Training event for facilitators on July 24th from 2:00 until 5:00pm. This training opportunity led by Jill Krone, DISCIPLE Bible Study Taskforce Coordinator for the Texas Annual Conference, is offered free of charge to participants within the Texas Annual Conference as a way of assisting in keeping the cost of bringing DBS to a church at a minimum.

Topics to be discussed include an overview of the DISCIPLE Study, components of the study, the role of leaders and how to implement the study. There will also be time for conversation on ways to promote, prepare and fund Disciple locally. Participants will also be able to review a practice session and observe the planning required through examination of the DBS teacher helps.
