Welcome to our page for our discipleship ministry. On this page you can take our four courses that are designed to walk you through different stages of your relationship with God. If you will, four steps on God's path for your life. These four courses are vital for you to be able to grow and understand how to walk with God. Listed below is a summary of each course. When you are ready, just click on the Discovering Church Membership listing to the left and go through the course.
It is important for you not to take these courses out of order because each course builds on the previous lesson. If you attempt to take them out of order you will be confused. The first is the basic of basics, explaining Pathfinders Church. It also walks you through the basics of Christianity such as salvation, baptism, and communion. All that you learn is based on the reality that you have surrendered your life to God by accepting Jesus Christ into your life. So the first course helps you nail down those basics.
