DISCIPLESHIP

DEEPER DISCIPLESHIP

At Word of Life, we don’t just talk about discipleship; it’s something that we’ve committed to as an organization. Every student has the opportunity to sign up to be discipled weekly in a D-Group with a staff member and 2-3 other students. This is a chance for you to take your spiritual walk deeper and be mentored by a more mature Christian in the faith. Ask questions, grow spiritually, and build a relationship that can last a lifetime.

D-Groups

In the beginning of the school year, all students are given the opportunity to be discipled weekly in a D-Group with a staff member of Word of Life Fellowship. This includes both the Bible Institute and our other ministry branches such as Word of Life Camps, Word of Life Youth Ministries, or our International Ministries branch. Staff from each of our ministry branches volunteer to meet with students throughout the year.

This process is completely voluntary for both students and staff. Interested students sign up and give some details about themselves. The Student Life Staff then works to place them in a D-Group with a staff member and 2-3 other students. The staff member is then tasked with reaching out and connecting with the students to set up a weekly time to meet. Each weekly meeting will be focused on 5 spiritual disciplines: Bible Reading, Journaling, Scripture Memory, Accountability, and Prayer. Our ultimate goal with discipleship is to know Christ and live like Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. We believe that our discipleship process will give students a method that can easily be reproduced wherever the Lord takes them.

QUIET TIME DEVOTIONAL

Discipleship happens every day as you take new steps in your faith. That process is founded on one thing; God’s Word. As you study it, understand it, memorize it, and apply it to your life. To help our students build spiritual habits in their lives every student is given a Word of Life Quiet Time devotional. This is a daily devotional tool that connects to a specific passage of Scripture each day and challenges you with two questions; “What is the writer saying?” and “How can I apply that to my life?” We’ve built uninterrupted time into our schedule each day to allow students time to do their Quiet Time.

DORM DEVOTIONS

Several nights a week you’ll hear short devotional Bible studies from students in your dorm. It’s an opportunity to hear what God is teaching the students around you. You may even have the opportunity to teach a dorm devotional yourself. It’s one more personal way for you to connect with God’s Word both to hear and to share the powerful truths that our students learn each year at the Bible Institute.
