Everyone has a next step on their discipleship journey … what’s yours?
The Discipleship Pathway
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” These are Jesus’ words from the Sermon on the Mount, and here at St. John the Divine, we want our lives to be set entirely on Jesus and his Cross.
Discipleship is not a linear path but a life-long journey of living more and more like Jesus. The discipleship pathway can be a handy guide to help you discover your next step here.
