Partners is a 10-week one-on-one discipleship program where two people will go through a ten-chapter workbook that covers the most important areas of Christian belief and practice. Someone who has previously completed the course partners with someone who has not as they go through the workbook together. Of course, the great task of making disciples cannot be completely accomplished in one 10-week study, but you will find this program to be a valuable tool in the process of discipleship.

First of all, you will benefit from going through this material. The booklet (written by Mike Fabarez, the senior pastor of our sending church) will constantly drive you to dig into the Scriptures as you consider topics like the gospel, prayer, the local church, and living a holy life. I have heard many testimonies over the years of people who have been saved as they study the biblical gospel in chapter one. I also know many experienced Christians who have gone through this booklet and grown more than they anticipated because of it.

Secondly, you will find the Partners program to be an incredibly useful tool as you seek to disciple others. As you meet people who are newer to the faith or newer to our congregation and want to invest in them spiritually, you will have a clear track on which to run through Partners. For many people, taking someone through Partners is just the beginning of a lifelong relationship of encouragement in the Lord.
