For Jesus, discipleship was a journey, not a destination. Altavista, Jesus set our Journey of Discipleship! We only intend to follow in His footsteps and He prepared The Way to the Father's heart.
Welcome! You’re stepping into a transformative journey, one filled with purpose, growth, and the promise of a deeper relationship with Christ. Whether you’re just beginning this path or returning to it, know that you are not here by accident. God has uniquely called you, and He has extraordinary plans for you.
A Three-Year Process of Identity, Purpose, and Mission Preparedness
Over the next three years, you will embark on a journey to discover your true identity in Christ, develop a purpose rooted in servant leadership, and prepare for a life of mission to bring others closer to God. This journey is about becoming the person God designed you to be, equipped to serve with humility, love, and courage.
Year 1: Establishing Your Identity in Christ
In this first year, we will focus on building a solid foundation in Christ. Together, we will explore what it means to be a beloved disciple, secure in God’s love. You’ll dive into the scriptures, understand the values of Jesus, and learn to love God, yourself, and others authentically. This year is about grounding yourself in God’s truth, recognizing the unique gifts He has placed within you, and developing a strong spiritual discipline.
What to Expect:
•Deepening your relationship with God through prayer, Bible study, and reflection.
•Discovering and embracing your identity as God’s child and your Unique Gifts.
•Learning to reflect Christ’s love and humility in your daily life.
•Engaging in foundational practices that prepare you for growth.
Year 2: Clarifying Your Purpose as a Servant Leader
As you move into the second year, the focus shifts toward purpose. Having established your identity in Christ, you’ll explore what it means to live a life of servant leadership. You’ll learn to use your Unique talents and Spiritual gifts to serve others, lift them up, and lead with humility. This year will be about identifying where God is calling you to serve and starting to develop the skills and perspectives needed to live out this purpose.
What to Expect:
•Engaging in hands-on service opportunities that reveal how God can work through you.
•Identifying and developing your spiritual gifts and discovering how they serve God’s kingdom.
•Growing in humility and faithfulness by honoring responsibilities both large and small.
•Learning to persevere and trust God, even when challenges arise.
Year 3: Embracing Your Mission to Inspire and Lead Others
In the final year, you’ll prepare for a mission-centered life, becoming a disciple who helps others follow Jesus. Your mission will be to share the gospel, inspire those around you, and transmit the wisdom and love you’ve learned. You’ll practice courage and boldness, discovering how to share your faith effectively and walk confidently in all that God has designed for you. By the end of this year, you’ll be equipped to lead others on the same journey you’ve traveled, living as a witness to God’s love and grace.
What to Expect:
•Developing confidence and courage to share your faith and inspire others.
•Learning to disciple others, passing on the love and wisdom you have received.
•Practicing authenticity, kindness, and humility as you bring the good news to others.
•Celebrating how God has prepared you for a life of impact in His kingdom.
What Lies Ahead: A Life Transformed
You might be beyond 1, 2, or even 3 year journey, but we all have things we need to tend to in Identity, Purpose and Mission. Take it as a REFERENCE POINT of where you are and where Jesus wants you to be. So, as you embark on this journey, be assured that God’s Spirit will guide, support, and empower you every step of the way. The process will challenge you, but it will also bring a deeper understanding of your identity, clarify your purpose, and ignite a passion for mission. You’ll be equipped not just to live a life of purpose, but to influence, serve, and inspire others.
